No sale last week due to the Independence Day holiday, compared to two weeks ago, steers and heifers under 600 lbs steady, 600 weights 2.00 to 5.00 higher, over 700 lbs had few comparisons. Slaughter cows 1.00 to 2.00 lower, slaughter bulls steady on a limited test. Demand moderate to good, supply moderate. Starting to see discounts on feeders with fescue hair.

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.
