As filed

Compared to last week, there were too few comparable feeder steer sales to establish an accurate trend. Feeder heifers were 2.00 to 5.00 lower. Feeder bulls were steady to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows were steady to 5.00 higher, and slaughter bulls were steady. There were light offerings of mostly average quality cattle today with active buyer participation.

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.
