Compared to last week, fed slaughter steers and heifers in the feed yards sold 1.00 to 2.00 lower at 178.00 to 179.00. In the hay market, demand remains slow, and trade activity is slow.

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.
