As filed

Compared to the last trended sale two weeks ago, feeder steers under 600 lbs 2.00-6.00 higher, over 600 lbs steady. Feeder heifers steady to 3.00 lower. Slaughter cows 3.00-4.lower compared to last week. Supply moderate. Demand good. Feeder cattle found strong demand for the most part Wednesday as buyers shrugged off big losses in feeder contracts over the past two days.

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.
