Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves under 700 lbs. sold 10.00-15.00 higher. Feeder steers over 700 lbs. were 2.00-4.00 higher while feeder heifers were not well tested. Demand was good on a light supply. Overnight rains continued throughout most of the day, as the remnant of hurricane Beryl moved through the area, keeping receipts lighter than expected. Cash prices remained strong in spite of Choice Boxed Beef closing 4.81 lower and livestock future contracts dropping throughout the day. The 5-Area Average Price for slaughter steers last week was 197.09, 1.28 higher than the prior week and another record high.

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.
