As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers 3.00 to 8.00 lower, with the most decline on fleshy, new crop calves. Demand moderate, supply light. Receipts were curtailed as severe weather moved through the trade area causing flooding and property damage.

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.
