As filed

Compared to last week: No trend of feeder cattle due to low receipts last week. All classes of feeder cattle saw lighter demand today. Slaughter cows sold 10.00-12.00 lower on a plain quality offering and no test on slaughter bulls.

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.
