As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 650 lbs mostly 2.00-5.00 higher except the better 350-450 lbs 5.00-6.00 lower with the full advance on weaned calves. Not enough over 650 lbs last week for a trend. The offering included several loads of 700-800 lb yearling steers that sold well. Feeder heifers 1.00-9.00 higher mostly 1.00-4.00 higher except the better 350-450 lbs 6.00-7.00 lower. Supply heavy and demand good on the weaned cattle. Cows and bulls not reported due to time limits.

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
