As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold 1.00 to 4.00 lower. Trade was fairly active on moderate to good demand. Unweaned or fleshy calves were heavily discounted as we head into colder forecasted weather and the drought continues to plague wheat pastures. Slaughter cows and bulls were 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.
