As filed

Compared to last week, the best test of 500lb - 650lb steers traded 8.00 to 12.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 600lbs traded unevenly steady from 4.00 lower to 3.00 higher and heifers over 600lbs were not well tested. Demand was good with many active buyers present gathering grass cattle as pastures start to green up. Supply was moderate to light. A heavy offering of dairy steers traded with sharply higher undertones compared to the last dairy steer special two weeks ago.

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.
