Compared to two weeks ago: Steers under 600 lbs. 4.00-7.00 higher, no comparison over 600 lbs. due to limited comparable quotes. Heifers under 600 lbs. steady to 2.00 higher except 300-400 lbs. and 500-550 lbs. instances 5.00-10.00 higher, moat advance on 500-550 lbs. Slaughter cows and bulls 3.00-5.00 higher. Trade active, demand good to very good.

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.
