Compared to last week, steer calves under 550 lbs. traded steady to 5.00 higher while heavier weight steers traded steady to 5.00 lower. Heifer calves traded 2.00-4.00 lower. Yearlings were not well tested however, undertones were lower. Demand was moderate on a moderate supply. Market activity was much like today's cattle futures, not much movement but what movement there was, was downward. Moisture over the weekend, although welcomed, has created problems moving cattle as roads and barnlots switch from solid to liquid as temperatures fluctuate.

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.
