As filed

Compared to the last auction, no recent comparisons with the last reported sale with comparable numbers been 4 weeks ago. Feeder cattle of all weights sold with a lower to sharply lower undertone as feeder market has come under pressure with fed cattle market losing near 35.00 since the highs at the end of June/1st of July and trading mostly from 225.00-227.00 in the North last week, along with plant closings (Joslin, IL) and lower futures all pressuring the market. There were ten pot loads with several stick out sales including pot load 748 lb steers at 348.00; 120 steers weighing 853 lbs at 335.00, 57 steers weighing 1042 lbs at 294.00 with 75 heifers weighing 579 lbs at 377.00 and 85 heifers weighing 647 at 357.75. Slaughter cows also sold with a lower undertone with no recent test.

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.
