Supply was heavy with very good demand. A large crowd was on hand as the weather was warm and the market was hot. 15 head of steer calves weighing 343 lbs.-352 lbs. sold for 400.00. A high percentage of the offering was high quality.

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.
