No recent value added sale for an adequate price comparison, however compared to Monday's regular sale, steers under 750lbs sold mostly 5.00 to 12.00 higher with heavier weights selling steady. Heifers under 600lbs sold 6.00 to 14.00 higher and heifers over 600lbs were mostly steady. Demand was good on a moderate supply for this wean - vac special at JRS.

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.
