Slaughter Cows, Breaker cows sold 1.00 higher. In the Hay Market, demand was moderate for alfalfa but remained light for grass hay. Open weather, greening pastures and lower cattle numbers have all contributed to the lower demand. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor for March 5th, temperatures in the region ranged from mostly 5-10 degrees warmer than normal for far eastern Wyoming and Colorado and most of Kansas. Abnormally dry conditions expanded in eastern Kansas where recent precipitation has been low and soils were drying.

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.
