Compared to last week steers under 600 lbs there was not a good test, however a lower undertone was noted. Steers over 600 lbs sold mostly lower. Steers 600 to 650 lbs sold 3.00 lower and steers 750 to 850 lbs sold 2.00 to 4.00 lower and steers 850 to 1000 sold 5.00 to 7.00 lower. The 650 to 700 lb steers sold 4.00 higher and 700 to 750 lb steers sold steady. On the heifers no test under 500 lbs, 500 to 550 lb heifers sold 6.00 higher, 550 to 650 and 850 to 900 lb heifers sold steady. Heifers 650 to 850 lbs sold 2.00 to 5.00 lower. The supply was moderate and the demand was 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.
