Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold steady to 4.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves steady to 1.00 higher. Quality average with a few big loads of attractive cattle on offer. Demand good. CME Feeder cattle contracts experienced huge gains over last week but lost those gains after settling down mostly triple digits across the board today. Friday's cattle on feed report showed placements and on feed a little higher than last year which was much more than expected. Carcass weights continue to be impacted by the past devastating Winter weather conditions and have consistently been lower than last year. Many feedyards still ready for supplies after the cold weather has subsided for a week.

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
