As filed

Compared to last week, steers over 550 lbs sold 10.00 - 20.00 lower with steers under 550 lbs not enough for market test. Heifers between 550 to 800 lbs sold 5.00 - 15.00 lower with heifers under 550 lbs and over 800 lbs not enough for market test. Several lots of unweaned calves offered today. Good demand for a moderate supply.

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.
