As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers under 650lbs traded 9.00 to 11.00 lower with spots down to 15.00 lower. Feeders over 650lbs were not well tested this week but traded with a lower undertone. Demand was moderate on a light supply. Quality of feeder cattle offered was below average compared to last weeks run. Uncertainty in input costs created major concern for buyers today and drove down cash prices this week.

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.
