As filed

Another lighter sale this week. Compared to last week, steers over 750 lbs sold mostly 10.00 lower. There were not enough steer calves for a good test. Heifers over 650 lbs sold 4.00 to 8.00 lower, while heifer calves 500 to 600 lbs sold mostly 15.00 higher. The receipts were light with good demand. There will be a special cow sale on Oct. 21st and a special calf sale on Oct. 28th next month.

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.
