Current hog receipts 9.

Compared to last week, slaughter cattle were steady to 3.00 lower. There were too few comparable feeder cattle to establish an adequate market comparison, however, a higher undertone was noted. Demand was moderate; market activity and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were light. Cattle quality was average.

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.
