As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and bulls traded 5.00-10.00 higher on light fleshed weaned cattle with a good demand for the calves carrying less flesh with summer heat approaching. Feeder heifers traded mostly steady with the same exception of light fleshed weaned cattle bringing a premium of up to 10.00-15.00. Unweaned new crop calves across all ranges were steady. Slaughter cows traded steady to 3.00 higher and slaughter bulls were steady.

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.
