Compared to last week: Feeder steers 600-700 lbs. 2.00-3.00 lower, heavier weights mostly steady. Feeder heifers 2.00 lower with exception of 700-800 lbs. 1.00 higher. Steer calves 500-550 lbs. 3.00 lower, other weights not tested. Heifer calves lightly tested with a lower undertone noted. Quality plain to attractive. Trade active. Huge fed kills by the packers lately showing feedlots becoming more current. Unseasonably cool, wet weather slowing beef demand and grilling season. The abundance of fed beef in May is largest in years and corn planting is closing on records for the least amount of acres planted for this time in May.

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
