As filed

Compared to the last auction two weeks ago, Monday's much larger offering with the bulk being feeders over 600 lbs had few good comparisons, the steer calves under 600 lbs on a light test sold with a lower undertone, and feeder steers over 600 lbs traded with a firm undertone. Feeder heifers weighing 450-700 lbs traded with a steady to firm undertone. The main attraction for Monday's sale was 11 pot loads of yearling steers and several part loads of good quality black yearlings all selling with good demand as the bulk of the sales weighed 600-900 lbs. Slaughter cows sold firm to 5.00 higher.
