As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers sold steady to 4.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Quality was average at best, with only 5 drafts over 25 head, as heifers outnumbered steers in the offering. A stick out sale was a package of 8 head of 809 lb. steers that brought 202.50. Cattle Futures and Corn Futures all traded modestly higher as Boxed Beef Cutouts traded 10.00-12.00 higher than a week ago.

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.
