As filed

Compared to last week, there were too few feeder calves across all weight ranges for an adequate comparison however undertones were mostly steady to weak. Demand was moderate on a very light supply. The last sale of the year at ORS included Feeder Cattle, Video Auction and Slaughter and Replacement Cattle. ORS ended 2020 with a total of 174,675 head of feeders cattle sold which was 3.2 percent ahead of last year and 5 percent above the 5 year average. On behalf of the Missouri Department of Agriculture's Market News Service I would like to wish all of you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

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.
