Compared to last week receipts were too light last Wednesday for a price comparison. Supply was moderate with very good demand. This Wednesday a flood came and buyers were needing cattle. As the auction progressed feeder prices increased.

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.
