Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 4.00 lower. Feeder heifers 1.00-3.00 lower. Steer calves 2.00 lower. Heifer calves mostly steady, instances 2.00 higher. Demand moderate to good. Quality average. More unweaned calves showing up and these selling to limited demand. Heavy rainfall and sharp declines on both the CME Live and Feeder cattle contracts had sellers either unable to get cattle out or were reluctant of the market.

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
