As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers sold mostly steady with limited comparisons from last week's light offering. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Even though temps soared to near 100 degrees this week, 4 straight loads and several other smaller consignments were in the offering.

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.
