Compared to last week, steer calves under 550 lbs sold with a higher undertone on last week's light test, with 550-600 lbs trading steady to firm, 6 weights were lightly tested, 7 weight steers and 9 weight steers sold with a firm to higher undertone on light comparisons with 800-850 lbs selling steady. Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs sold with a higher undertone, with the most advance on the 500-600 lb heifers calves selling 10.00-20.00 higher on last week's sharply lower market, part load of 600 lb heifers sold 4.00 higher, with a pot load of 687 lb and pot load 720 lb heifers selling with a steady to firm undertone. Demand was moderate to good on a moderate supply. Feeder calf market this week had a much better feel and demand than last week's market as the market adjusted following the CME cattle futures volatile sessions over the past couple of weeks. Slaughter cows bounced back with high dressing breaking cows selling 5.00-10.00 to spots 12.00 higher and all other cows steady to 5.00 higher.

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.
