As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves weighing 450-500 lbs sold 5.00-10.00 higher, with 500-650 lbs selling 3.00-6.00 higher and 650-700 lbs on a light test sold with a higher undertone. Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs on a light test sold firm to 5.00 higher with the 500-550 lb heifers trading 3.00-10.00 higher and 550-650 lbs selling with a higher undertone on a light test. Much lighter receipts this week, but a very active market on the steer and heifer calves with a very good quality offering weighing mostly 450-650 lbs. Demand was good with supply light. Slaughter cows on a light test sold steady to firm.
