As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers sold 15.00 to 20.00 lower and feeder heifers had few weight comparisons but sold with a sharply lower undertone. Demand was moderate on a light supply. After an early week drop in the cattle futures market, buyers stayed conservative and wanted long weaned vaccinated cattle that were in short supply today.

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.
