As filed

Compared to last week slaughter steers and heifers had instances of higher/lower and better interest on higher quality steers and heifers. Holstein slaughter steers were mostly steady and Dairy/Beef heifers trending higher. Cows were 1.00 to 4.00 lower and Holstein cows 1.00 lower this week. Bulls were 4.00 higher with good interest on higher dressing bulls. Feeder steers and bulls were higher/lower and feeder heifers unevenly steady today with and some good groups of value added and fancy type feeders.

Slaughter cattle

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.
