As filed

With no recent Pre-Vac Sales for comparison, compared to Tuesday's Regular Feeder Sale, feeder steers and heifers traded 3.00-6.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Most calves in the offering were long time weaned with two or more rounds of vaccinations. The market was active as several buyers were ringside bidding on the above average quality offering.

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.
