Compared to last week, not enough of a comparison for an accurate market trend due to bitterly cold temperatures, however an uneven undertone noted. Demand was moderate to good. Fed cattle in Kansas sold 4.00 lower at 199.00. In the hay market This past week, demand was light, and trades were slow to moderate. Prices were mostly steady, and the availability of grinder hay remained heavy. Grinders would still like to purchase hay and continue to have difficulty getting it bought with sellers hanging on to the hope of higher prices.

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.
