Compared to last week: Feeder steers over 800 lbs steady to 2.00 lower; under 800 lbs 3.00-8.00 lower. Feeder heifers mostly steady, 600-700 lbs 5.00 higher. Demand moderate to good for feeder cattle and buyers more particular for kind. Crossbreds or cattle built for warmer type weather are starting to see a bigger discount as we head into October. Steer calves mostly steady. Heifer calves 5.00-10.00 higher. Demand good for calves following the much needed rains late last week. Quality mostly average.

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
