As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers steady to 3.00 lower, except 550 to 650 lb heifers steady to 3.00 higher. Demand and supply moderate. Calf Buyers more aware of potential health problems.. The price spread between bawling new crop calves and calves on a vaccination/weaning program will continue to widen.

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.
