As filed

Due to extreme weather the last 2 weeks, not enough receipts for a market comparison. Supply this week was moderate with good demand. Both steers and heifers under 600 lbs. were in demand with active bidding. Six head of 353 lb. steers traded for 207.00. A lot of 136 steers weighing 822 lbs. traded for 128.75. A special Holstein steer sale followed the regular feeder sale. A lot of 60 head of Holstein steers weighing 970 lbs. traded for 92.35.

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.
