Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves mostly 6.00 to 10.00 higher. Very good demand for steer and heifer calves as more cattle feeders and yearling operators are ready to take on stock and buying these good light weight, light fleshed calves when they are available.

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.

Source: USDA AMS, as filed — nothing recomputed and nothing rounded. This summary aggregates the same sales the North Dakota barn reports cover, so it must never be added to a state total built from those barns.
