As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 5.00 higher with instances of 14.00, under 550 lbs instances of 32.00. Feeder heifers steady to 4.00 higher with instance of 20.00 on the lighter heifers, except 650 lbs - 700 lbs & 800 lbs - 850 lbs steady to 3.00 lower. Demand for this eye appealing offering of feeder cattle was excellent. Bidders were on the edge of their seats when light weight cattle came in, with them being harder to find these days. The CME Feeder Market was higher today giving hope for the future. Black hided cattle are the highest preferred along with rounds of shots, days weaned and grass fed vs pushed cattle. The weather was the talk of the buyers, as it has been very difficult to keep yards and cattle clean. Slaughter cows steadyish. Bulls 3.00 higher.

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.
