Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves traded steady to 3.00 lower with most weights not well tested. Demand was moderate on a light supply. Heavy rains and strong winds across much of the area Tuesday morning kept receipts light.

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.
