As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers 5.00 to 6.00 lower overall, feeder bulls 3.00 lower, and no comparisons available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts. Slaughter cows mostly steady with exception of breaker cows gauging 4.00 higher, and slaughter bulls 5.00 to 7.00 lower.

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.
