As filed

Compared to last week's lighter receipts, the best test was on steers weighing 450-600 lbs trading 2.00-4.00 higher, with 600-700 lbs selling mostly steady with the bulk weighing 675-700 lbs and steers over 700 lbs were not well tested. Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs sold firm to 3.00 higher, 500-600 lbs sold mostly steady with spots 3.00 lower compared to last week's active market, heifers over 600 lbs sold with a higher undertone with few comparable sales from last week. Slaughter cows sold firm to 4.00 higher. Demand was good with supply moderate. Last Friday CME cattle futures finally posted a triple-digit rally hopefully putting a bottom to the recent downtrend.

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.
