Compared to last week, steers and heifers unevenly steady, except some yearling steers sharply higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower, slaughter bulls steady on a limited test. Demand best for long time weaned calves and yearlings, supply moderate.

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.
