As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steer sold weak compared to a light test last week, while heifers sold sharply lower, with instances of 2.00-4.00 lower. Slaughter cows sold 1.00 to 3.00 lower. There were not enough bulls to set an accurate trend for slaughter bulls. Trade was very active with good demand across all classes of livestock with active buyer participation ringside and on the internet, with a moderate to heavy supply.

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.
