As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves under 600lbs sold 3.00 to 7.00 higher. Heavier weights had very little to compare to last week, but sold with a higher undertone with some quality groups of long weaned and vaccinated yearlings in the offering this week.

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.
