As filed

Compared to last week's very active market, 400-500 lb steer calves sold 3.00-6.00 lower, 500-600 lbs steers traded firm to 3.00 higher, 600-650 lbs sold 2.00-4.00 lower and over 650 lbs traded with a firm to higher undertone on mostly six pot loads of 830-915 lb steers. Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs sold mostly steady, 5 weight heifers on comparable sales with last week sold 3.00-5.00 higher, over 600 lbs were not well tested. Demand was moderate to good on a heavy supply of top quality calves and yearlings with 11 pot loads in the offering. Monday's auction included a large offering of steer calves weighing 400-700 lbs with several strings and large groups in the offering, the 4 weight steers and 600-650 lb steer calves failed to reach last week's top prices but still sold on a very active market along with the pot loads of yearlings. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher.
