As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows traded steady while slaughter bulls traded 2.00 higher. Demand was good on a heavy supply of slaughter animals and a moderate supply of replacement cattle. Also in the mix was a whole Jersey herd sellout which was well attended prior to the beef cattle sale.

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.
