As filed

Compared to last week, a light test of 400-450 lb steer calves sold with a higher undertone, with 450-700 lb steers trading firm to 5.00 higher, with the 500-550 lb steer calves selling 5.00-10.00 higher, over 700 lbs were not well tested. Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs sold firm to spots 5.00 higher and a much larger offering this week of 500-600 lb heifers calves sold with a higher undertone with several stick out sales of fancy blk heifer calves selling on and active market, over 600 lbs sold with a higher undertone with few comparisons from last week. Demand was good on a moderate supply, with a nice attractive offering of steer and heifer calves weighing 450-700 lbs. Slaughter cows sold steady to 5.00 higher with the most advance on the high 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.
