Today's demand and trade activity was moderate to good. Feeder steers traded uneven. However, good quality, weaned, vaccinated steers showed tones of being steady to slightly higher. Feeder heifers traded mostly 2.00 to 10.00 higher. Next available report will be as receipts warrant.

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.
