Nice offering of cattle today. Still getting a lot of cattle off grass. Steers over 800 lbs sold mostly 10.00 higher. Heifers there was not a good test, however a higher undertone was noted. The receipts were light to moderate 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.
