As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, steers weighing 550-700 lbs sold steady to firm, with 7 weight steers trading 5.00-10.00 lower and a pot load of steers weighing 806 lb traded steady. Heifer calves weighing 400-450 lbs sold steady, 5 weight heifers traded mostly 5.00-10.00 lower and over 600 lbs were lightly tested. Demand was good on a moderate offering. Despite CME Cattle futures selling off with sharp losses on Thursday and Friday (Feeder Cattle limit down on Thursday) the market held up very well. Cattle on Feed Report was released Friday afternoon with On Feed at 102 percent; Placements were higher than expected at 106 percent and Marketings came in at 90 percent. COF report seems to be confirming what cattle futures have been telling for the last couple of days- a bearish report was coming. Slaughter cattle and slaughter cows all sold fully steady.

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.
