As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves under 600 lbs on a light test sold with a steady to firm undertone, 600-700 lbs steers traded mostly steady on comparable sales with feeder steers over 700 lbs (bulk over 800 lbs) sold with a firm to higher undertone on limited sales from last week. Heifer calves under 600 lbs were lightly tested with feeder heifers over 600 lbs selling with a higher undertone on limited comparisons from last week. Demand was good on a moderate offering with bulk of the sales being pot loads of good quality steers over 800 lbs. Several stick out sales included 124 hd of 850 lb steers at 335.00; 114 hd of top quality steers weighing 927 lbs at 333.50 with two part loads of heifers weighing 612-630 lbs at 378.25 and 380.75. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady.

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.
