Compared to last week: Feeder steers 3.00 to 4.00 higher in a narrow comparison, feeder heifers not well compared. Very good demand for all weights of steers and heifers as the cash fed cattle market continues to hold it's ground, 10.00 premium to the futures contracts. Optimism amongst cattle feeders is very high as the cash fed cattle as moved counter seasonally higher. This is the time of the year where fed cattle supplies are the most plentiful, yet packers can't get leverage over the feeders. There is great hope amongst cattle producers that these record high prices will continue.

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.

Source: USDA AMS, as filed — nothing recomputed and nothing rounded. This summary aggregates the same sales the Iowa barn reports cover, so it must never be added to a state total built from those barns.
