As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers under 600 lbs traded unevenly steady while steers over 600 lbs traded 8.00 to 14.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs traded 2.00 to 4.00 higher and trended higher over 600 lbs with little to compare to on last weeks light test. Multiple large groups of consistent, high quality, weaned yearling cattle called for higher prices of feeder cattle over 600 lbs this week. Supply was moderate and demand was moderate to good for all feeder classes.

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.
