As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves overall were lightly tested selling in small packages with a light test of 5 weight steers trading mostly steady on comparable weights, with 6 weight steers selling steady to 5.00 lower on a light test with last week, 7 weights were not well tested as quality was not as attractive, two pot loads of 915 lb steers were not tested with last week but sold with a steady to firm undertone. Heifer calves weighing 450-500 lbs sold mostly steady with a pot load of 616 lb heifers trading mostly steady and a pot load of 817 lb heifers not tested with last week but sold near steady. Demand was good on a light offering. Despite last Thursday and Friday's sell off in the Feeder Cattle futures, Feeder futures rebounded late after a lower opening to close 1.85 to 2.27 higher on the front months as the market held up well here on Monday especially on the pot loads of yearlings all selling with good demand. Stick out sales included 120 hd of steers weighing 915 lbs at 340.00; 90 hd of heifers weighing 616 lbs at 415.00 and 66 heifers weighing 817 lbs at 330.00. Slaughter cows sold 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.
