As filed

Compared to the last auction two weeks ago, too few steer and heifer calves were on offer to fully test the market, a light offering traded with a weak to lower undertone. Yearling steers weighing 650-800 lbs sold fully steady to firm, with yearling steers weighing 800-900 lbs were not well tested with two weeks ago on similar weights and quality but sold with a sharply higher undertone on a very active market. Feeder heifers over 600 lbs were lightly tested. Slaughter cows sold steady. A very nice offering of yearling steers sold in pot load and part load lots with very good quality, sorted up right for the buyers as they were eager to buy big yearlings while they still can. CME cattle futures continue to climb higher while fed cattle market also traded higher last week helping to support the market.
