As filed

First reported sale in three weeks, no price comparison available. Mostly smaller packages in the offering today. CME live cattle futures continue to rise. Lighter offering of steers today. No implant and drug free steers mostly 3.00-4.00 premium. Small strings of no implant and drug free heifers showing a 3.00-4.00 premium. Good demand.

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.
