As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steer calves under 600 lbs sold steady to firm, with over 600 lbs not well tested on light offerings, feeder heifers weighing under 600 lbs sold steady with 600-700 lbs selling with a higher undertone on two weeks ago light test. Demand was good on a moderate offering with the bulk of the feeders weighing 400-600 lbs. A good overall quality offering of 400-600 lb feeders all sold with good demand. Feeder cattle futures started out Monday on a strong note with triple digit gains as September was up 3.07 and October closed 3.05 higher. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-6.00 higher, spots 7.00 higher.

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $257.10, low $235.76, median $252.81 across 7 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.
