As filed

Compared to last week, Steers sold 5.00 to 15.00 higher with 500 to 550 lb steers selling steady and steers weighing 300 to 450 lbs and 750 to 800 lbs not enough for market test. Heifers sold anywhere from 20.00 lower to 26.00 higher with the majority of heifers weighing 750 to 800 lbs selling up to 17.00 higher. Several lots of nice calves coming off the cow. Demand was very good for a moderate supply of calves.

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.
