As filed

Today at Fairview, above average weather conditions, an attractive, mostly long timed weaned and vaccinated offering drove trade higher across most weight classes. Feeder steers 400-600lbs traded higher 15.00, above 600lbs higher 12.00-18.00. Feeder heifers 400-600lbs higher 12.00-18.00, feeder heifers above 600lbs trading higher 10.00-12.00. Good to very good demand with active buyer participation.

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
