As filed

Compared to last week's light test, the best test was on 400-600 lb steer calves with 400-500 lb steer calves trading firm to 5.00 higher, 500-600 lbs sold fully steady to firm with weights over 600 lbs not tested. Feeder heifers weighing 400-600 lbs sold mostly steady on the new crop calf offering with a pot load of 740 lb heifer trading near steady on last week's pot load. Slaughter cows on a large offering sold steady to firm. Overall quality was very good especially on the steer calves selling with good demand , many new crop calves in the offering with many un-weaned/short weaned less than 30 days but still selling with good demand.
