Compared to last week, feeder and heifers overall on a light test, however a higher undertone was noted. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 5.00 higher. Demand was reported throughout the state as moderate to good. Compared to last week, fed slaughter steers and heifers in the feed yards sold steady at 171.00. In the hay market, demand remains low, and prices were mostly steady. Inquiries to purchase alfalfa hay remains at a minimum and producers are pushing to get their inventory sold. But with so much silage, other forages and low corn prices, not many new sales have been generated. Good grass hay continues to be in demand, but grass hay producers do not seem to be taking on new customers.

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.
