Compared to last week, Feeder Steers sold steady to 7.00 higher. Feeder Heifers sold 3.00 to 10.00 higher. Slaughter Cows and Bulls sold steady to 4.00 higher. Demand was good. In the Hay Market, demand was moderate for alfalfa but remained light for grass hay. Open weather, greening pastures and lower cattle numbers continue to contribute to the lower demand and lower prices. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor for March 12th, localized heavy rains from severe thunderstorms last week occurred in parts of central and southeast Kansas, leading to localized improvements to ongoing drought and abnormal dryness. In south-central and southwest Kansas, abnormal dryness developed where dry weather from the past couple of months combined with warm and windy conditions.

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.
