As filed

Compared to last week's light test, steers and heifers sold with a firm to higher undertone. Demand was moderate to good for a moderate supply that included a consignment of yearling steers and heifers and some fancy new crop calves. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-6.00 higher.

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.
