As filed

No comparison is available to last week, the sale was cancelled due to icy conditions. Demand was strong on a good run of weaned and value added cattle with the buyers most interested on those type cattle. Feeders between 400 lb and 600 lb looked to be in the stongest demand, but as stated, all ranges were good. Slaughter cattle not reported due to time constraints.

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.

Feeder Cattle — prices, barns, and planning

Fed Cattle — the cash market and what quality pays

Beef & Retail — from the box to the grocery shelf

Feed & Hay — the cost side, cash not futures

Cows & Bred Stock — the rebuild market
