As filed

Compared to the last regular sale, which was two weeks ago due to the holiday steers and heifers sold lower on a light test. The receipts were light with moderate demand. The first weaned and vaccinated sale of the season will be next Tuesday, December 5th. It should be a larger sale, with over 3,000 head already consigned.

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.
