As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves weighing 400-500 lbs sold 4.00-8.00 higher, with 500-700 lb selling mostly 3.00-6.00 higher and 700-800 lbs trading steady to firm. Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs and 600-700 lbs sold with a higher undertone with few good comparisons on last week's light test, with 500-600 lbs selling 3.00-7.00 higher and a pot load of 720 lb heifers off the same consignment as last week sold a 1.00 lower. Slaughter cows sold firm to 3.00 higher with spots 5.00 higher on the lean cows. A very nice quality offering of steer calves weighing 400-750 lbs and heifers weighing 400-650 lbs all sold on and active market with good demand. CME Feeder Cattle futures held their ground on Monday closing higher after Friday's big jump as feeder contracts continue to find good support. Monday's corn crop progress report remains at 72 percent good to excellent.

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.
