As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves weighing 400-600 lbs sold fully steady to firm with instances 3.00 higher, 600-700 lb steers sold 2.00-4.00 higher and yearling steers over 700 lbs sold with a firm undertone. Feeder heifers weighing 400-600 lbs sold 2.00-5.00 higher with yearling heifers over 600 lbs trading steady to firm. Moderate to good demand for the large offering of calves and yearlings with many calves weaned and having two round of shots. Monday's auction had plenty of packages, groups and strings of good quality calves and yearlings to choose from. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm.
