As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers were selling mostly 4.00 lower to 7.00 higher. Sales were uneven on both ranges due to a light run of feeders and the threat of incoming winter weather. Slaughter cows and bulls were not reported due to weather. Supply was light and demand was good.

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.
