Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves sold steady to 5.00 higher with the largest gain on heifers. Yearling were not well tested with only 8 percent of the offering weighing over 700 lbs. Demand was very good on a light supply. Cattle Futures continued to trade lower on Tueday as Corn Futures also traded lower. Negotiated fed cattle prices are at or near record highs and boxed beef values are up 8.00 since last Friday.

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.
