* Final Report *

Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers 650 lb to 950 lb sold 8.00 to 16.00 higher, however thin fleshed cattle sold up to 20.00 higher. Not enough steers and heifers under 650 lb for a market test. Demand was good. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady, however 1 high yielding cow sold for 170.50.

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.
