Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves traded uneven from 3.00 lower to 3.00 higher with most of the gain on six and seven weight calves. Demand was good on a light to moderate supply that was lacking the quality of the previous week. Thin stocker calves continue to be in the greatest demand as adequate moisture and warmer temperatures have buyers trying to capitalize on fresh grass to lower their cost of gain.

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.
