Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 3.00 higher with instances 7.00 higher. Feeder heifers unevenly steady. Steer calves 2.00 - 4.00 higher. Heifer calves 3.00 - 6.00 lower. Demand moderate to good. Quality mostly attractive. Slaughter cattle prices once again moved higher and clearance from feed yards was pretty good. This week's sale somewhat larger as dry conditions and a good market is encouraging some producers to sell early. Today's sale consists of about 4,000 head of calves in the OK Angus-Influenced Feeder Special Sale. These calves had at least two rounds of shots and weaned 60 days. These calves are marked as value added in the report. Quality mostly attractive.

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
