As filed

Compared to last week, a much lighter test this week on steers and heifer calves under 600 lbs selling in small groups and packages with steer calves selling mostly steady to firm on comparable weights and quality and over 600 lbs were lightly tested. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs sold mostly steady with spots 3.00 lower on the 450-500 lb heifers and a pot load of 685 lb heifers trading 5.00 lower than last week's pot load of similar weight and quality. Slaughter cows sold steady. Demand was moderate to good with supply moderate.
