As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, steer and heifer calves under 650 lbs sold with a sharply higher undertone with over 650 lbs selling with a higher undertone as quality and numbers was much better on calves and yearlings were overall lightly tested, but overall a good quality offering. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Slaughter steers and heifers on a good offering sold 3.00-6.00 higher as Fed Cattle market moved higher this week. Slaughter cows sold fully steady to firm.

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.
