As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers under 625 lbs. sold 13.00-20.00 higher with heavier weights steady to 3.00 higher. Feeder heifers sold 8.00-16.00 higher. Supply was moderate with very good demand. The heat index was over 25 degrees lower today than last Monday and that help drive the market.

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.
