Compared to last week: Stocker calves sold 2.00 to as much as 10.00 higher. Yearlings not enough comparable sales for a market trend. Trade activity was moderate on good demand. The majority of the trading region received a good slow soaking rain over the weekend bringing anywhere between a half inch to 2 inches. Temperatures were in the 70's and 80's, which allowed pastures to begin to bounce back but a large amount of weeds are accompanying the new pasture growth.

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.
