Compared to last week, steer calves under 700 lbs sold 4.00 to 8.00 higher, while yearlings over 700 lbs were not well tested. Heifer calves under 500 lbs sold steady to 3.00 higher; 500 to 650 lbs were 4.00 to 7.00 higher; over 650 lbs were steady on a light test. Demand was good to very good on moderate to heavy supply.

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.
