As filed

Compared to last week: Trade activity and demand was moderate. Slaughter cows traded unevenly steady, while bulls traded mostly steady. Replacement cattle did not have enough like comparisons to accurately trend.

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.
