As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves under 500 lbs were very lightly tested, 500-550 lbs sold steady, with 550-650 lbs selling steady to 3.00 lower and 700-750 lbs on a light test sold steady to 5.00 lower, over 750 lbs were not well tested with last week's offering. Feeder heifers weighing 450-500 lbs sold steady to 3.00 lower with 500-700 lbs selling steady and 700-750 lbs sold with a firm undertone. Slaughter cows traded mostly steady to spots 2.00 lower on the averaging dressing cows. Demand was moderate to good on a moderate offering. A nice quality offering of steers weighing 500-800 lbs with several pot loads and part loads selling with good weighing conditions.
