Compared to last week: A higher undertone was noted on steers up to 800 lbs. 900-1150 lbs. were steady to 2.00 higher. Heifers 800-850 lbs. were 2.00 lower, heifers 850-1000 lbs. were 1.00-5.00 higher. Many large load lots in heavier cattle today. Demand was good. The next feeder cattle auction will be Oct. 27th, expecting 5000 head of feeders, starting at 9:00 am. Watch ads, maybe earlier.

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.
