Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers steady to 5.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs mostly steady, instances 5.00-10.00 higher on some better quality light heifers, over 550 lbs 3.00-6.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady. Demand good. Supply moderate. Nice quality feeder offering with several good to outstanding consignments. The advancing feeder cattle market took a hit with the Wednesday morning release of a bullish planting intentions and stocks report that sent corn futures limit higher. The news pushed feeder futures sharply lower although they did move off the days lows as live cattle futures turned higher. The feedlot trade is expected to be higher and certainly needs to be as there is well over $500.00/head difference in the live price of a 1,400 lb steer and his currently reported carcass value as the beef cutout continues to march higher this 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.
