Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers were steady to 2.00 lower. Steer and heifer calves sold steady to 5.00 higher. Demand was moderate on a light supply. Excessive heat, where most feeders are headed, had buyers reluctant to purchase cattle with an excessive amount of flesh or hair. Rain across the area has been very erratic with some producers receiving over ten inches this past week while others received a trace or none at all. Feeder Cattle Contracts traded lower and Live Cattle Contracts traded higher as Corn Contracts traded sharply higher.

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.
