Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves sold 2.00-4.00 lower. Yearling steers were 4.00 lower while yearling heifers were not well tested. Demand was moderate on a moderate supply. There were several multi-pot load drafts in the offering, including a stick out draft of 180 head of 701 lb. steers which brought 265.25. The largest draft of the day was 224 head of yearling steers weighing 919 lbs. that brought 231.50, which was 4.00 lower than their same size brothers from a week ago.

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.
