A nice offering of steers and heifers coming off grass today. Compared to last week steers under 650 lbs were not tested, however a lower undertone was noted. 700 to 800 lb steers sold 1.00 to 4.00 higher and steers over 800 lbs sold 1.00 to 3.00 lower. Heifers under 600 lbs were not tested but a lower under tone was noted. Heifers 600 to 800 lbs were 3.00 to 5.00 higher and heifers over 800 lbs had no previous week comparison. The supply was moderate and the demand was light to moderate.

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.
