As filed

Compared to same sale two weeks ago, feeder heifers measuring 3.00 lower overall with no comparisons available for feeder steers and bulls due to limited comparable receipts, however, a lower undertone was noted for feeder bulls. Regarding slaughter cattle- boning cows gauging 1.00 lower with breaker cows 4.00 to 5.00 lower, and no comparisons available for lean cows and slaughter bulls due to limited comparable receipts.

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.
