As filed

Due to wet weather, the receipts were down this week. With a limited test steer cattle were 10.00 to 20.00 lower and heifer cattle, again with a limited test, were mostly 10.00 lower. The receipts were light with light to moderate demand. We have another special calf sale next Tuesday, expecting 3000 to 4000 head.

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.
