As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs. mostly steady, except a few 450-500 lb, heifers showing a higher undertone. No comparison on feeders over 600 lbs. bur a lower undertone noted. Slaughter cows steady to 3.00 higher, most advance on boners. Bulls 3.00 lower though quality not as attractive. Trade and demand moderate to good.

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.
