As filed

Compared to a light test from two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold with a steady to firm undertone. Demand was moderate for a moderate supply. Several new crop calves were offered that were carrying flesh along some quality yearlings in the mix. Boxed beef prices are soaring while some feeders are left holding market ready cattle with no bid as slaughter plants cannot get production levels to capacity. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 5.00-10.00 higher compared to two weeks ago. The first of the planted corn is breaking through the soil.

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.
