As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were 5.00 to 8.00 higher, while bulls had too few comparable head to establish an adequate market comparison. Feeder steers were very lightly tested and were mostly steady to 1.00 higher; bulls were mostly 3.00 to 4.00 higher; while heifers were 2.00 to 8.00 lower. Demand, market activity, and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were fairly 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.
