As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers mostly 2.00-7.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs mostly 1.00-3.00 higher over 500 lbs 1.00-4.00 lower. No trend on cows and bulls due to them not being reported past few weeks.

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.
