Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves traded steady to 3.00 higher with most weights lightly tested. Demand was good on a light to moderate supply. The USDA's Cattle on Feed report released last week, reported Inventories were up 2 percent, Placements were near steady and Marketings were down 2 percent. In spite of this bearish report, feeder cash markets continued to make modest gains and cattle futures traded mixed.

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.
