*CLOSE* No recent Valued Added sale for a price comparison. Comparable sales of weaned calves to Monday's regular feeder cattle sale, steers under 750 lbs and heifers under 600 lbs steady to 3.00 higher, steers over 750 lbs and heifers over 600 lbs steady. However when comparing to unweaned calves of same quality and weight, steer and heifer calves 8.00 to 10.00 higher. Demand good, supply heavy. The bulk of the calves in medium plus to fleshy condition, with few thin flesh calves in the mix. Calves are weaned forty five days or more, on a vaccination program and heifers are guaranteed open.

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.
