As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers steady to 4.00 lower. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 higher with advance from 500-600 lbs. Slaughter cows steady. Demand moderate to good. Supply light. Reduced numbers with the recent rains including storms rolling through Wednesday morning. The fed cattle market acts like it could be a tick stronger this week with carcass weights getting somewhat lighter and cutouts possibly starting to head higher although the data indicates there won't be any shortage of market ready cattle for a while.

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.
