As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers steady to 5.00 higher with advance under 600 lbs. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs 2.00-5.00 higher, over 500 lbs steady to 2.00 lower with decline near 600 lbs. Slaughter cows steady. Cattle futures have hopefully carved out a bottom with more stability seen in the market in recent days after trending lower for several weeks. Outstanding feeder offering this week with several front end reputation consignments.

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.
