Compared to two weeks ago, breaking type slaughter cows were 6.00 to 7.00 higher and boning type slaughter cows were 9.00 to 10.00 higher; there were too few comparable slaughter bulls to establish an adequate market comparison. Feeder steers and bulls were mixed, 3.00 lower to 4.00 higher; while heifers were mostly 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good; market activity and buyer interest were moderate to active. Offerings of cattle were mostly moderate. Cattle quality was average to attractive.

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.
