No feeder trend available due to limited receipts. Trade activity was light; however seats were filled with anxious onlookers to see where the markets are after a rough couple of weeks. CME cattle futures have tried to regain footing and closed in the green a couple of times this week; pastures are also in good shape with several inches of rain recently.

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 Texas barn reports cover, so it must never be added to a state total built from those barns.
