As filed

There were no recent Wean-Vac special sales for comparison, however compared to Tuesday's regular sale, 500-750 lb. steer and heifer calves were 5.00-10.00 higher. Yearling steers were 2.00-5.00 higher with yearling heifers not well tested. Demand was good on a heavy supply. A good crowd was on hand with several new buyers ringside. The quality of the offering was above average with most calves long-time weaned with two or more rounds of shots. The average size draft was 8 1/2 head with 45 drafts of 25 head or larger. The largest draft was 135 head of 889 lb. steers which sold for 225.25.

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.
