As filed

Compared to last week: No comparison available on steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs. but a lower undertone noted. Feeders over 600 lbs. mostly 6.00-8.00 lower with quality not as attractive on both calves and feeders, Slaughter cows mostly 5.00 lower, bulls 1.00 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.
