As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves under 550 lbs were lightly tested, with 550-650 lbs selling steady to 3.00 lower, 650-800 lbs sold steady and yearling steers and heifers over 850 lbs sold with a higher undertone with no recent test. Feeder heifers weighing 450-550 lbs sold mostly steady on comparable weights, with heifers weighing 550-700 lbs not well tested. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm. Monday's offering included more calves weighing 500-650 lbs carrying flesh and selling with moderate demand. Best demand was on three pot loads of big yearlings weighing over 850 lbs and 700-750 lbs steers. Most of the grain and commodity markets on Monday closed lower as the Stock Market closed over 500 points lower in a wave of selling.

Steers 0–100 lb: high $258.28, low $216.82, median $243.28 across 11 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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.
