As filed

Compared to last week, steers under 550 lbs 1.00 to 4.00 higher, heifers under 500 lbs steady to 2.00 higher, steers over 550 lbs and heifers over 500 lbs steady. Slaughter cows and bulls 3.00 to 4.00 higher following last week's sharply lower trade. Demand moderate to good, supply moderate. Muddy conditions and the upcoming winter storm curtailed the receipts.

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.
