As filed

Compared to last week, a light offering of 4 weight steers sold steady, with a much lighter offering this week of 500-600 lb steers selling steady to 5.00 lower with the most decline on the 550-600 lb steers, over 650 lbs were not well tested but several pot loads of top quality yearlings weighing 787-903 lbs sold with a firm undertone. Feeder heifers on a light test weighing under 550 lbs sold with a weak to lower undertone, with a nice offering of 550-600 lb heifers selling with a firm to higher undertone, over 600 lbs were not well tested. The calf offering was much lighter this week with overall quality on the calves not as attractive as last week. Good demand for the yearling steers and the heifers weighing 550-600 lbs that were long timed weaned all sold on and active market. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm, spots 3.00 higher on the high dressing breaking 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.
