As filed

Compared to last week, steers over 550 lbs sold 10.00 to 15.00 lower, under 550 lbs too light volume to test the market. Heifers under 700 lbs sold 10.00 to 20.00 lower, over 700 lbs not enough for market test. Moderate to good demand for moderate supply. Several small groups of unweaned stocker calves in the offering today. Buyers were willing to take on inventory, however at lower price levels.

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.
