Compared to last week feeder steers and heifers traded steady to 4.00 lower. Slaughter cows traded 2.00-6.00 lower. Not enough slaughter bulls and replacement cattle for a market comparison. Supply was heavy with moderate demand.

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.
