As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves weighing 400-550 lbs sold 6.00-10.00 higher, spots 12.00 higher with 550-600 lbs selling steady to firm on alight test, over 600 lbs sold with a higher undertone on limited comparisons with last week. Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs sold with a higher undertone on a light test, with 500-550 lbs trading 4.00-6.00 higher, 550-600 lbs sold steady to 2.00 higher, 600-700 lbs sold with a higher undertone on a light test. Demand was good, best on steer calves weighing 400-550 lbs as most were long timed weaned and two round of shots, also good demand on the 650-700 lb steers and 5 weight heifers all sold on a very active market. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm.
