As filed

Compared to the auction 2 weeks ago, 600 - 700 lb steer calves were 10.00 to 12.00 higher. Heifers weighing 500 - 600 lb were 10.00 to 15.00 higher. The remaining heifer weights were fully steady. Available today were many load lots of quality heifer feeder cattle. Demand was very good for today's light offering. Trade was very active.
