As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves sold mostly 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Feeder steers and heifers traded mostly steady to weak. Quality was attractive. There were a lot of light weight, turn out type of cattle with good weigh-ups were on offer. Buyer demand was good on active trading activity. Trace amounts of moisture were recorded across the majority of the trading region. However, a lot more moisture is needed to improve drought conditions in the area.

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.
