As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were 2.00 to 5.00 higher and bulls were 9.00 to 10.00 higher on a very light test. There were too few comparable feeder cattle the previous week to establish an adequate market comparison, but a higher undertone was noted. Demand, market activity, and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were fairly heavy. Cattle quality was average. Baby calves ranged 25.00 to 75.00 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.
