As filed

First sale of the new year as last week was cancelled due to weather. All weights of steers and heifers trading sharply higher than last month, and at all time record highs. As fat cattle have now surpassed the 2.00/lb price and continue to climb, backgrounders and finishers continue to chase after calves and yearlings to replace inventory. Demand was very good and supply moderate.

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.
