Compared to last week, 400lb - 600lb steers sold 6.00 to 10.00 higher, steers over 600lbs had few to compare to last week but sold with firm undertones. Heifers sold mostly 8.00 to 12.00 higher with spots up to 15.00 higher. Demand was very good with many bidders and buyers present, supply was moderate.

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.
