Current hog receipts 1.

Compared to last week, boning type slaughter cows were steady to 1.00 lower, while breaking type slaughter cows and slaughter bulls were steady to 1.00 higher. There were too few comparable feeder steers to establish an adequate market comparison; heifers were mostly steady to 4.00 lower; and feeder bull were mostly 6.00 to 7.00 lower. Demand was light to moderate; market activity and buyer interest were slow to moderate. Offerings of cattle were mostly moderate. 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.
