Compared to last week: Feeder steers unevenly steady. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 lower, but some lower prices also due to quality and or conditions. Demand moderate to good. A significant number of un-weaned calves were included and these trended lower. Steer and heifer calves 8.00-15.00 lower. Demand limited for calves. Cattle futures managed to close mostly in the green today. Persistent high temperatures and lack of rainfall continue to impact the region, and these conditions are expected to remain for at least the next 10 days. Overall, the quality of cattle available was mostly average, end 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

Feed & Hay — the cost side, cash not futures
