These higher breakevens were judged against April’s five-area steer price average of $120 per cwt. Steer prices for the first four months of 2018 averaged $124 per cwt, compared to $122.52 per cwt for the same period a year ago. However, feeding margins for those months averaged $135 per head in 2018 compared to $313 per head in 2017.
