Compared to the previous auction from two weeks ago, steer calves under 500 lbs sharply higher on a light test, 500-700 lb steers 10.00-20.00 higher, and steers over 700 lbs steady to 2.00 higher. Feeder heifers firm to 5.00 higher. Demand for calves continues to be very good, and now that winter is mostly behind us, the prices for the lighter weight grazing cattle are reaching never before seen numbers that multiply out to some phenomenal dollars per head.

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.
