As filed

Compared to last week, steers under 600 lbs 3.00 to 10.00 higher, heifers under 600 lbs 3.00 to 5.00 higher, steers and heifers over 600 lbs steady. Demand moderate to mostly good, supply light. Receipts curtailed as some rural roads still slick from the recent storm.

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.
