Compared to two weeks ago, steers under 550 lbs no recent price comparison, however a higher undertone noted. Steers over 550 lbs sold steady to 4.00 higher. Heifers under 450 lbs not well tested; over 450 lbs sold steady to 5.00 higher. Demand good to very good today on light to moderate supply. The highlight of the sale today was a half load of 626 lb steers selling at 174.00 and two loads of heifers weighing 763 lbs selling at 141.85.

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.
