Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers overall sold on a light test due to lighter receipts reported this week, however a weak undertone was noted. Slaughter cows sold uneven; breakers and boners 5.00 to 6.00 higher, leans 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Slaughter bulls 4.00 to 5.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good. Compared to last week, fed slaughter steers and heifers in the feedyards sold steady at 155.00. In the hay market, demand remained strong and prices strengthened, in all regions, ahead of the Christmas holiday and the anticipated winter storm. Producers and brokers continue to report that there is a lot of hay moving and that was reflected in the amount of total hay bought or sold last week. A little rain was received across the state but once again, for those in Southwest Kansas, conditions remain dire with little moisture received.

Head, weight ranges, average weights and price ranges are exactly as USDA AMS filed them — nothing recomputed, nothing rounded — in USDA's own reporting structure. This is RaisedBeef's rendering of that data, not a copy of USDA's document.

Source: USDA AMS, as filed — nothing recomputed and nothing rounded. This summary aggregates the same sales the Kansas barn reports cover, so it must never be added to a state total built from those barns.
