Compared to the last special two weeks ago, steer calves weighing under 650 lbs all sold with a firm to higher undertone on a light test of comparable sales, the best test was on 700-800 lb steers selling 10.00-20.00 higher with over 800 ls trading with a firm to higher undertone on light test. Heifer calves weighing 450-550 lbs sold fully steady to firm, with 600-700 lb heifers trading 5.00-15.00 higher and a nice offering of 750-965 lb feeder heifers all trading with a higher undertone. Demand was good on a moderate supply with a very good quality offering of calves and yearlings in Friday's sale. Several stick out sales included 20 steers weighing 705 lbs at 391.00; pot load of 779 lb heifers at 314.00 and 92 hd of 962 lb heifers at 291.50. Cattle on Feed was issued Friday afternoon with On Feed coming in as expected at 99.6 percent, Placements continue to extend smaller placement numbers at 88 percent with the average guess at 91.7 percent, Marketings came in as expected at 93 percent. Placements were the smallest for September since the series began in 1996. Slaughter cows sold fully steady to firm.

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.
