Compared to last week, steer calves under 500 lbs traded 5.00-8.00 higher with heavier weights 2.00-3.00 higher. Heifer calves weighing 450-799 lbs traded 2.00-3.00 higher with other weights not well tested. Demand was good on a light supply. Uncertainty on Wall Street and the CME is causing buyers to be cautious and keeping many producers at home. Steers averaged 547 lbs at $151.78/cwt while heifers averaged 552 lbs at $129.60/cwt.

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.
