As filed

No comparison is available to last week due to the holiday but there was a large offering of value added cattle today with good demand on both weaned and value added animals. Lower undertones were noted on unweaned new crop calves. Slaughter cows and bulls were not reported this week due to time constraints.

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.
