As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold 3.00 to 7.00 lower. Trade was active on moderate demand. Yearling demand was down after a bearish Cattle on Feed report released last Friday. A lot of light weight calves coming off drought stricken pastures still in the offerings. Slaughter cows and bulls were weak to 2.00 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.
