Lighter run of cattle this week. We have seen most of the grass cattle come to town at this point. 800 to 900 lb steers sold 2.00 to 6.00 lower while 900 to 950 lb grass steers sold 3.00 higher. There were not enough heifers today for a good test. The receipts were light with good demand.

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.
