As filed

Compared to last week, a much lighter test this week, but steers calves weighing 550-700 lbs and heifer calves weighing 450-700 lbs on a limited test traded mostly 10.00-15.00 higher on comparable sales, steer calves under 550 lbs sold with a sharply higher undertone on the few offered. Demand was good on a light supply and even though many of the offerings sold in small bunches, packages and singles demand was good and buyers were active. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.

Heifers 0–100 lb: high $262.69, low $218.12, median $248.48 across 13 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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.
