As filed

Compared to a light test last week, steer calves 3.00 to 5.00 higher, heifer calves 2.00 to 3.00 higher, too few yearlings last week for a good price comparison. Slaughter cows and bulls steady to 3.00 higher. Demand moderate to good, supply light.

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.
