As filed

Compared to last week, a light test of steer calves under 600 lbs sold mostly steady, with 600-650 lbs trading steady to 2.00 higher, 650-800 lbs sold steady with a large offering of yearlings over 800 lbs selling with a firm to higher undertone with no recent test. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs sold steady to firm on a light offering, 600-650 lbs sold 2.00-5.00 higher over 650 lbs were not tested. A good offering of good quality yearling steers weighing 725-995 lbs sold in 11 pot loads lots with good demand and made up the bulk of the receipts. CME Live and Feeder cattle futures started the week higher with moderate to triple-digit gains building on Friday's strong action.
