As filed

Lots of cattle coming off grass today. Feeder weight steers and heifers sold mostly 6.00 to 10.00 lower. There were spayed heifers that brought a premium selling steady with last weeks spayed heifers. Expecting more grass cattle again next week. The receipts were moderate to heavy with good demand.

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.
