As filed

Compared to last week, a much heavier offering this week with 400-500 lb steer calves selling with a higher undertone on a light test with last week, 500-550 lb steers sold steady to 4.00 higher, with 550-650 lbs steers trading 5.00-10.00 higher, spots 12.00 higher on a very active market, yearling steers over 800 lbs sold with a sharply higher undertone on few comparisons. Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs sold mostly steady, with 500-550 lbs selling steady to 2.00 lower with last week's active market and heifers over 600 lbs sold with a higher undertone. Slaughter cows traded fully steady to firm with spots 3.00 higher on the high dressing cows. Demand was very good on a large offering of top quality calves weighing 450-650 lbs and yearlings weighing over 800 lbs. Feeder cattle contracts closed with modest gains on Monday as corn closed mixed.

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.
