As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers under 625 lbs. sold 6.00-8.00 lower with heavier weights steady to 2.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 625 lbs. sold 8.00-10,00 lower with heavier weights selling steady. Supply was light with moderate demand. There was several drafts of the more plain cattle. Very hot temperatures caused supply to be lower.

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.
