Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last Tuesday: No test on feeder steers due to low receipts last week. Feeder heifers sold unevenly steady and bull calves traded 8.00-10.00 lower. Feeder cattle health in the changing weather conditions remains the reason for the lower demand on the feeder calves. Slaughter cows traded 6.00-8.00 higher and slaughter bulls sold steady.

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.
