As filed

Compared to last week, steers under 700 lbs sold steady to firm, spots 2.00 higher on the 6 weight steers with yearling steers over 700 lbs trading 4.00-7.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 700 lbs were lightly tested with 700-750 lb heifers selling with a higher undertone. Demand was good on a moderate supply with best demand on the top quality pot loads of yearling steers over 700 lbs. There was 7 pot loads of top quality 860-987 lb steers with 3 pot loads weighing 860-898 lbs at 241.60-243.75, 2 pot loads weighing 909-938 lbs both at 235.75, and 112 head weighing 987 lbs selling at 231.10. Good demand for these big yearling steers remains very good with a bumper corn crop on the horizon is helping to support the market. Slaughter cows traded mostly steady.

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.
