As filed

Compared to last week: Yearling feeder steers and heifers sold mostly 2.00 to 6.00 lower, instances 9.00 lower on stocker calves. Trade activity and demand were moderate. CME cattle futures struggled this week, closing in the red. Much needed moisture was a welcomed sight in the area, despite the cold front it brought along with it.

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.
