Compared to last week, steers under 600 lbs sold steady to 10.00 higher; 600-850 lbs 4.00 to 12.00 lower; over 850 lbs steady to 3.00 higher. Heifers under 650 lbs sold 10.00 to 15.00 higher; 650-850 lbs steady to 5.00 higher; over 850 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good. Slaughter cows and bulls sold unevenly steady. Negotiated cash fed cattle sold at 225.00 in the South Central area this week. In the hay market, demand remained steady last week, while movement was slightly lower due to weather conditions and limited truck availability. Drying conditions allowed fieldwork to resume, with producers continuing to plant winter wheat, swath alfalfa, and harvest soybeans. A light freeze occurred across much of the state but was not severe enough to cause significant crop damage.

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.
