As filed

Compared to the last auction two weeks ago, the best test was on 550-600 lb steers selling 3.00-7.00 higher and 700-800 lb steers trading 7.00-10.00 higher, spots 12.00 higher with steers over 800 lbs selling with a higher undertone. Feeder heifers had few good comparisons and sold with a firm to higher undertone. Demand was good on a moderate offering. The best demand was on a good quality offering of steers weighing 600-900 lbs with several pot loads and part loads in the offering. Slaughter cows were not well tested with the last auction's very light test sold with a sharply higher undertone.
