As filed

A very active market with heavy receipts. When compared to the much lighter offering from two weeks ago feeder steers and heifers sold mostly 5.00-10.00 higher although some weights featured top prices with even stronger numbers thanks to multiple reputation strings of top end calves sold throughout the day. The cash fed cattle market remains strong with the live cattle futures prices near contract highs. Corn futures in Chicago are trading at 18 month lows, helping with feed costs. And feeder futures were all sharply higher on Thursday, scoring new contract highs except for the soon to expire May. Slaughter cows 4.00-6.00 higher compared to two weeks ago. Demand was very good.

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.
