As filed

Today in Congerville, harsh weather conditions moving into central Illinois kept trading light to moderate for a light to moderate offering. Auction officials noted buyer participation was also effected by the adverse weather conditions and concerns over transportation for todays offering. No recent feeder specials have been recorded, thus no accurate price comparison for today's trade.

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.
