As filed

Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on feeder steers or heifers for a market trend. Steer calves traded mostly steady to 2.00 higher, with the exception of calves over 600 pounds which traded sharply lower. Not enough comparable sales on heifer calves for a market trend but a sharply lower undertone was noted. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly 4.00 to 5.00 lower. The majority of the supply consisted of calves straight off the cow. Trading activity was light to moderate on moderate buyer demand. Demand was limited for calves straight off the cow, especially with cooler weather in the forecast. Spotty moisture moved through the trading region over the weekend, with another chance of some precipitation in the forecast Monday.

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.
