As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 550 lbs steady to instances of 5.00 higher, over 550 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 lower with instances to 8.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 550 lbs not well compared, 550-600 lbs steady to 5.00 lower, over 600 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 lower. A very large offering of feeder cattle this week, consignments ranged from a few head to mulitple load lots. The demand was the best today and light fleshed steers under 550 lbs, more moderate demand for the heavier weight steers and heifers. Flesh condition ranged from light and attractive to over conditioned. There was some outstanding quality cattle on offer again this week while also offering more plainer types for those who handle those kinds. With April CME Live Cattle and Mar and April Feeder Cattle futures closing limit lower the was ample pressure on the market. Few slaughter cows reported as reporter was ill, no comparisons made.

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.
