As filed

Compared to last week, breaking type slaughter cows were 1.00 to 2.00 lower, while boning type slaughter cows and slaughter bulls were 5.00 to 6.00 higher. Feeder cattle were mostly 4.00 to 9.00 lower, some sharply lower. Demand was light to moderate; market activity and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were fairly light due to ongoing cold and wet weather which is forecasted to continue for the next five days. Cattle quality was plain to average. Baby calves (2 steers) weighing 60 lbs. were 95.00 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.
