Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers were 5.00-10.00 lower. Steer and heifers calves were 10.00-20.00 lower. Demand was moderate on a very light supply. Supply was light due to the upcoming holiday and recent market trends. The Cattle Futures traded mostly on the positive side after being down the limit on Monday. The USDA released its monthly Cattle on Feed Report on Friday and reported Inventories were down 2 percent, Placements were down 10 percent and Markings were down 8 percent.

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.
