Demand was moderate to good. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 4.00 to 5.00 higher. Feedlot trading reported in Kansas sold at 222.00 to 223.00, mostly 222.00. This past week in the hay market, demand was light, trade was moderate, and prices were steady, on limited test. There have been no new crop contracts made, as everyone seems to be holding out for test results and an increase in supply. Grass hay still seems to be in abundance, and old crop grinding alfalfa continues to move.

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.
