As filed

Compared to the same sale two weeks ago, Slaughter cows and bulls steady. Steers 2.00 to 8.00 higher. Heifers under 550 lbs 2.00 to 8.00 higher, over 550 lbs steady to 3.00 higher. Bulls not well established this week. Quality fair to fancy. Demand good.

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.
