As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 lower and slaughter bulls sold 3.00-4.00 lower on a heavy supply. A high percent of the offering was slaughter cows and slaughter bulls. There was a light to moderate supply of bred cows and a light supply of cow/calf pairs. Rainy and wet field conditions are keeping producers out of the field and giving them time to bring cattle to market in larger numbers. Supply was heavy and demand moderate for slaughter classes.

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.
