As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers sold steady. Steer and heifer calves sold steady to weak. Demand was moderate on a very light supply. Rain for several days have made barnyards sloppy and difficult for cattle movement. The largest draft of the day was 68 head of 884 lb. steers which sold for 275.00/cwt. The USDA's Cattle on Feed Report released Friday came with no surprises and in line with predictions. Inventories were 2 percent lower, Placements and Marketings were 3 percent lower. The cattle futures, following the Memorial Holiday, trended lower to start the week.

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.
