As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers were 2.00 lower and slaughter heifers were 1.00 to 2.00 higher with good higher quality heifers today. Holstein slaughter steers were too few to compare. Cows had instances of higher/lower with a good offering of cows and bulls 3.00 to 7.00 lower this week. Feeder steers were trending higher with some good groups of fancy steers and feeder heifers instances of higher/lower also with some good groups of fancy type heifers with feeder bulls trending lower.

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.
