As filed

Compared to last week, receipts were too light this Thanksgiving holiday week for an adequate price comparison, but steers and heifers sold with a steady to firm undertone, and sold with good demand from buyers.

Heifers 500–600 lb: high $439.08, low $337.37, median $394.59 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.

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.
