As filed

Compared to last week, a much heavier offering with feeder steers 400 - 650 lbs selling 7.00 to 10.00 higher. A fancy group of 467lb steers lead the price increase. Steers over 650 traded with a firm undertone with little to compare to on last weeks light test of feeder cattle. Feeder heifers traded steady to 7.00 higher. More numbers and quality this week with lots of nice weaned cattle in good buying condition. Supply was heavy and demand was very good.

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.
