Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves under 700 lbs. sold 3.00-6.00 lower with heavier weights not well tested. Demand was light to moderate on a light supply. Winter weather affected demand as transportation and handling conditions were a major concern for the buyers. The largest draft of the day was 86 head of 604 lb. steers that brought 250.00/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.
