As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers traded mostly 1.00 to 5.00 higher with spots up to 8.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 600lbs, steady to 2.00 lower on a lighter test and over 600lbs 1.00 to 5.00 higher. Supply of feeders was moderate to heavy with a highlight 260 head draft of 7 weight steers in the offering. Slaughter cattle traded 1.00 to 3.00 higher, and maintained heavy receipts this week. Rising temperatures and lack of moisture in the area continue to be on the forefront of producers minds as green forage and water sources quickly dwindle down. Demand was good for all classes.

Slaughter cattle

By class and quality grade · $/cwt

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.
