As filed

No accurate comparison on steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs. due to limited comparable sales but a higher undertone noted on heifers. Feeder steers over 600 lbs. 2.00-6.00 higher on limited quotes, no comparison on feeder heifers. Slaughter cows mostly steady, bulls 2.00 lower. Trade and demand moderate.

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.
