Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers traded 2.00-5.00 higher with spots 7.00 higher. Demand was good on a light supply. Warmer temperatures have melted last week's snow making country roads and barnyards difficult for loading and transporting cattle. The USDA's Cattle on Feed report released last week had Inventories up 1 percent, Placements up 3 percent and Marketings down 6 percent compared to a year ago.

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.
