Qualifying independent sale barns are Texas auctions that published a 4W/5W/6W steer or heifer price inside this completed week. The Texas USDA market reports (Tulia · Giddings · Dalhart · Lonestar/Wildorado · Producers) are tracked separately in the Texas USDA Rundown and are never blended into the sale-barn count; the combined figure above is the total current reporting market sources (independent sale barns + USDA reports).

Receipts: 1,324
Compared to last week: Stocker steers sold 1.00 to 7.00 lower; stocker heifers were steady to 5.00 higher. Yearlings not well tested last week. Demand was good. Recent rain has wheat pastures in good condition. Wide price spreads continues depending on weaned status.
Original USDA reportLonestar Stockyards
Receipts: 785
Compared to last week: Weaned steer calves with at least two rounds of shots traded mostly 5.00 higher. Much of that advance was attributed to the high quality of the offering, as buyers showed strong interest in reputation cattle suitable for wheat grazing.
Original USDA reportDalhart
Receipts: 2,375
Compared to last week: Not a whole lot of positive this week; a down turning board zapped last weeks excitement. Demand favored calves under 600 that are long weaned, reputation, and ready for wheat. All other classes steers and heifers lost 20.00-50.00. Feeders taking the biggest hit on little demand.
