As filed

Based on very limited comparisons last week, steers and heifers sold with a steady to firm undertone. Supply was moderate and demand was good with cooler weather in the area making buyers much more comfortable bringing cattle home.

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.
