Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves traded unevenly steady from 4.00 lower to 4.00 higher in a light test of the market. Demand was moderate to good on a light supply. Cattle futures opened the week higher with boxed beef and fed cattle prices trending higher. The Acorn Belt is greening up quickly with additional rainfall and warmer temperatures across the area.

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.
