As filed

Compared to last week, lot of new crop calves on Monday's auction in the offering that were unweaned/short weaned (30 days or less) many carrying flesh weighing mostly 400-600 lbs for the most part steer and heifer calves weighing 450-600 lbs sold steady to 5.00 lower with the exception of 550-600 lb steers trading mostly steady to firm. Steers weighing 600-800 lbs were lightly tested with last week and a pot load of 895 lb steers sold near 5.00 lower than last weeks pot load of similar weights, with heifers over 600 lbs not well tested. Slaughter cows on a large offering sold firm to 2.00 higher. May corn closed 15 1/2 cents higher and December corn closed 11 cents higher putting the pressure on Feeder Cattle contracts closing with triple-digit losses with the front two months down 3.20-3.65 with the back months down 1.50-2.25.

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.
