Compared to last week, steers under 800 lbs sold steady to 2.00 higher, while steers over 800 lbs sold steady to 3.00 lower. Heifers sold mostly 2.00 to 6.00 higher. Demand was good as this is the last auction feeder cattle marketing week of the year in Kansas. Compared to last week, slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 3.00 higher. In the feedlot trade, live sales sold steady at 191.00. In the hay market this past week, demand remained light, and prices were mostly steady. The supply of hay available remains heavy as almost all contributors indicated that there is lots of hay sitting around. Those producers wanting to sell their hay are discouraged by the lower prices and many have chosen to hold onto their hay until prices rise. Cattle are still grazing on wheat and rye in some areas and the warm and dry weather all contribute to less hay being fed. All of us here at USDA-KDA Market New Service wish each and every one of you a safe and joyous holiday season.

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.
