As filed

Compared to last week, 400-450 lb steer calves sold mostly 10.00-13.00 higher, with 450-500 lb and 550-600 lb steer calves trading fully steady to firm, the bulk of the 500-550 lb steers sold mostly in pot load lots and large drafts trading mostly 5.00-14.00 higher than last week's pot load and larger drafts, 600-700 lbs steers traded firm to 10.00 higher, with over 700 lbs selling 4.00-7.00 higher. Heifer calves weighing 400-500 lbs sold 10.00-15.00 higher, with 500-550 lbs selling mostly in pot load lots trading with a sharply higher undertone than last week's much lighter offering, 600-650 lbs sold firm to 5.00 higher and over 650 lbs traded with a firm to higher undertone. Demand was very good on a heavy supply with near 20 straight loads in the offering, with one consignment of near 900 hd of top quality feeders with good weighing conditions in the offering. Overall Monday's sale could be one for the record books here at Callaway as quality ran very deep and prices reaching levels not seen here specially on the pot loads and large drafts of calves weighing from 500-650 lbs. Several stick out sales included 98 hd of steers weighing 522 lbs at 450.00, 54 hd steers weighing 514 lbs at 454.00, 92 steers weighing 569 lbs at 435.75, 62 steers weighing 624 lbs at 407.50, with 99 heifers weighing 540 lbs at 388.50 and 86 heifers 539 lbs at 421.25 all top quality and the list goes on. Slaughter cows on a light offering sold 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.
