Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers sold 2.00-4.00 higher. Steer and heifers calves sold 3.00-9.00 higher. Demand was good on a very light supply. Only three drafts in the offering were over twenty head with the largest draft being 81 head. Today's supply was impacted by excessive heat warnings throughout the region. Buyer demand was notably lower for short or unweaned calves, as well as those carrying fescue hair or appearing fleshy. These types were discounted due to concerns over high shrinkage and increased stress under extreme heat conditions.

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.
