Compared to last week, breaking type slaughter cows were 1.00 to 2.00 lower, while boning type slaughter cows and slaughter bulls were 5.00 to 6.00 higher. Feeder steers were mostly 9.00 to 10.00 higher; heifers were mostly 5.00 to 6.00 higher; while feeder bulls were mixed, 7.00 lower to 1.00 higher on a light test. Demand was good; market activity and buyer interest were active. Offerings of cattle were fairly light. Cattle quality was average with some attractive. Baby calves (23 head) ranged 25.00 to 110.00 per head.

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.
