As filed

Compared to the last feeder cattle sale two weeks ago, steers sold mostly 7.00 to 15.00 higher with spots up to 20.00 higher on lightweight calves. Heifers were mostly 6.00 to 15.00 higher. Demand was very good on a heavy supply. A quality run today with many consignments of long weaned yearlings in good condition from reputation breeders in the area.

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.
