Compared to last week's light run, feeder steers and heifers were not well tested however undertones were steady to weak. Steer and heifers calves over 600 lbs. were 3.00-6.00 higher while lighter weight calves were 4.00-8.00 lower. Demand was moderate on a moderate supply. One stick-out draft was 60 head of steers weighing 608 lbs. which sold for 452.00/cwt. The quality of the offering was average with buyers being very selective. It is getting to be that time of the year where excessive hair is discounted as much, if not more than, short/unweaned and non-vaccinated calves.

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.
