On the heifers there was also a light offering under 500 lbs but with a higher undertone being noted. Heifers 500 to 700 lbs were steady to 8.00 higher. Heifers 700 to 850 lbs were 2.00 lower and heifers 850 to 950 lbs was 2.00 higher. The supply was good and the demand was good.

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.
