Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves sold 10.00 to 15.00 higher. Yearling steers were unevenly steady, while yearling heifers were steady to 2.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good. Slaughter Cows sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold 4.00 lower on limited comparison. In the feedlot trade, negotiated sales sold mostly 3.00 lower at 187.00. In the hay market, demand remained light, and prices were steady. Buyers are still not buying, but sellers aren't interested to selling at these lower prices, putting the hay market at a standstill. Loads being delivered are to long term customers and hay that was contracted in the summer. Kansas is finally receiving rain, and although it makes things muddy and hard to work in, most appear to welcome it to as it will replenish the soil moisture and fill up ponds.

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.
