As filed

Compared to last week : Not enough steers for trend, undertone was lower. Feeder heifers had a lower undertone up to 850 lbs, 850-1000 lbs. sold steady to 7.00 lower. Demand was good. Flesh and quality were main factor in todays prices. Had a set of spayed heifers that brought top dollar today. The next feeder cattle auction will be Oct. 5th, expecting 2000 head of feeders, starting at 9:00 am.

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.
