As filed

Limited receipts this week due to the weather last week and the frigid temperatures that are coming. There was no good comparison due to limited receipts, however a lower undertone was noted. The receipts were light and the demand was moderate.

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.
