As filed

Compared to last week, Steers under 700lbs traded mostly 4.00 to 8.00 higher and steers over 700lbs had little to compare to but traded with a firm undertone. Feeder heifers traded unevenly steady from 3.00 lower to 5.00 higher. Supply was light again this week with wet rainy conditions outside and demand was 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.
