As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves weighing 450-550 lbs sold fully steady to firm, with 550-600 lbs not well tested with last week's light test but sold with a higher undertone, 600-650 lb steers sold 5.00-10.00 higher, with a part load of 715 lb steers and a pot load of 890 lb steers selling with a firm undertone. Feeder heifers weighing 450-500 lbs sold with a higher undertone, with 500-550 lb heifers selling mostly 5.00-10.00 higher and 550-600 lb selling with a higher undertone on a light test and over 600 lbs sold steady to firm on comparable sales. Demand was moderate to good on a moderate offering with the best demand on the 550-650 lb steers. Market overall had a better feel this week as buyers were more aggressive to buy and own feeders on Monday as last week's fed cattle market was higher. Slaughter cows on a large offering sold steady to firm with several premium white cows selling with a higher undertone.

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.
