As filed

Compared to last week, breaking type slaughter cows were 10.00 to 11.00 lower and boning type slaughter cows were 6.00 to 7.00 lower; there were too few comparable slaughter bulls the previous week to establish an adequate market comparison. Feeder steers and bulls were mostly steady to 4.00 lower; heifers were mixed, 5.00 lower to 2.00 higher. Demand was good at lower prices; market activity and buyer interest were fairly active. Offerings of cattle were mostly moderate. Cattle quality was average. Baby calves brought 190.00 per head; "by the head" calves were 180.00 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.
