Slaughter Cows and Bulls sold 7.00 to 11.00 higher. Demand was good. In the hay market, demand remains light and grinding alfalfa prices continue to fall. There are lots of folks still wanting to sell grinding alfalfa, but buyers are few and far between. Producers report that they expect a lot of low-quality alfalfa and sudan to be carried over. Most hay being moved is on previously contracted hay. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor for February 13th, high temperatures averaged about 8 to more than 20 degrees above normal.

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.
