As filed

Compared to last week: Stocker steers and heifers mostly steady to 6.00 lower on a light test in some classes. The offering included mostly unweaned new crop calves with some of them fleshy. Light run due to heavy rain and flooding in the area. No trend on cows and bulls not reported last week.

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.
