Compared to two weeks ago, steers sold mostly 3.00 to 5.00 lower on a light test this week. Heifers sold with a lower undertone on a light test also. Demand was very good today. Supply was heavy and included several unweaned 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.
