As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold mostly steady to 5.00 higher with a few offerings of weaned cattle as much as 15.00 higher. Feeder heifers were uneven to 8.00 lower. A light run of feeders today made it difficult to establish a trend. Slaughter cows were mostly steady and slaughter bulls on light test were 5.00 higher. Demand was good and supply was light on feeders and good on slaughter cows.

Slaughter cattle

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.
