Compared to last week: No accurate comparison on feeder steers or heifers but a higher undertone on 400-500 lb. steers and a lower undertone on those over 600 lbs. Slaughter cows and bulls 2.00-3.00 lower except high yielding offerings steady.

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.
