As filed

Compared to the last tested auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers sold firm to 5.00 higher. Cash and futures prices continue to set new record highs every week, and cow/calf producers are finally having their turn to bank some well earned profits. Demand was good and supply moderate.

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.
