Compare to last week's much larger offering and very active market steer calves under 500 lbs didn't reach last weeks highs as numbers and overall quality were lacking but sold with a weak to steady undertone, 500-550 lbs traded mostly steady with 550-600 lbs and 650-800 lbs steers sold 3.00-8.00 higher, spots 10.00 higher, 600-650 lbs sold steady to firm and over 750 lbs traded with a firm undertone. Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs sold steady to firm, 500-700 lbs sold 3.00-7.00 higher, spots 10.00 higher and over 700 lbs on limited sales traded with a steady to firm undertone. Demand was good on a moderate offering. Heifer calves weighing 450-600 lbs sold on and active market with a couple of stick-out sales of a pot load 552 lbs fancy blks at 301.25 and a pot load 585 lbs thin blks at 286.25 and several packages of thin/fancy blks weighing 500-535 lbs from 312.00-325.00. Demand was very good on 650-750 lbs steers all selling on a very active market. Overall quality and condition was very good on feeders with calves long time weaned and with shots made for and active market. Slaughter cows on a nice offering sold 3.00-8.00 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.
