As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves weighing 400-500 lbs sold steady to firm, with 550-550 lbs selling steady to 2.00 lower on last week's very active market, 550-700 lbs sold steady with 700-800 lbs trading steady to 3.00 higher, and over 800 lbs sold steady. Feeder heifers weighing 450-600 lbs sold 3.00-5.00 higher, 600-650 lbs sold steady. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm, spots 2.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good on a moderate to heavy supply. Monday's auction had a nice offering of good quality calves and several pot loads of 800-950 lb yearling steers selling with good demand.
