Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers traded steady. Trade was fairly active on good demand. The Texas Panhandle remains in a drought, with temperatures back around the 90s. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady.

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.
