* Special Cow Sale Tuesday, November 17th*

Compared to last week, steers sold 5.00 to 20.00 higher with nice weaned calves weighing 400 to 500 selling up to 70.00 higher. Heifers sold steady to 12.00 higher with the exception of heifers weighing 950 to 1000 lbs selling 6.00 lower. Heifers under 400 lbs and 450 to 500 lbs not enough for market test. Very good demand on a moderate supply of weaned calves.

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.
