As filed

Compared to last week, a light offering of steer calves weighing under 600 lbs sold with a lower undertone with few good comparable sales with last weeks good offering and very active market as overall quality and quantity were not plentiful. A light test of 600-650 lb steer calves not well tested with yearling steers over 700 lbs including three pot loads trading with a firm to higher undertone. Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs sold steady to weak on a light test, with 500-600 lbs selling 3.00-7.00 lower giving back last week's gains and a pot load weighing 730 lbs selling steady. Demand was moderate to good, best on yearling steers with a top quality offering of 775-805 lb steers. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady.
