As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded steady to 2.00 higher with lean cows 3.00-5.00 higher. Slaughter bulls traded 2.00-5.00 higher with most of the gain on high dressing animals. Demand was good on a heavy supply which included several whole herd sellouts of outstanding bred cows and pairs.

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.
