As filed

Compared to last week, a light test of 400-500 lb steers calves sold with a lower undertone, 500-600 lb steers sold steady to 5.00 lower, spots 7.00 lower, 600-700 lbs sold steady, 700-750 lbs sold 4.00-8.00 higher and steers over 750 lbs were not well tested with last week. Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs sold 2.00-5.00 higher, 500-700 lbs sold mostly steady sold on comparable sales and over 700 lbs were not well tested. Demand was moderate to good on moderate offering. The 700-750 lb steers got back all they lost last week and a little more on a much more active 700-750 lb market than last week. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm on mostly average dressing cows.

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.
