Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers sold 3.00-6.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs were steady to 5.00 higher in a lightly tested market. Demand was good on a light supply of calves and a moderate supply of yearlings. The offering consisted of several multi-pot load drafts of yearling steers and heifers. The largest draft offered was 167 head of 921lb. steers which brought 238.00/cwt. One stick-out draft was 129 head of 807 lb. heifers that sold for 239.50/cwt. Last week the 5-Area Average Price for fat cattle was at an all time high of 195.91. Box Beef Cutouts set a new high for 2024 with Choice Cuts closing at 330.39 today.

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.
