Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Trade activity and demand was good. No trend available due to last reported sale being three weeks ago. Strong tones with a little more variance in the price ranges due to a big variance in quality. Next available report will be Friday, February 21, 2025.

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.
