As filed

Compared to last week's auction which was mostly feeders weighing over 600 lbs, steer calves weighing under 550 lbs and heifers under 500 lbs all sold with a sharply higher undertone, steers calves weighing 550-700 lbs sold mostly 5.00-10.00 higher, with spots 12.00 higher on the 550-600 lb steers, 700-800 lbs sold steady over 800 lbs were not well tested with last weeks pot load lots. Feeder heifers weighing 500-600 lbs sold 5.00-10.00 higher, with 600-700 lbs trading 5.00-6.00 higher and over 700 lbs not well tested. There were many top quality steer and heifer calves in Monday's offering weighing 400-700 lbs with many groups, packages and strings all selling on a very active market. Overall demand was good to very good on a heavy supply of feeders. Slaughter cows sold firm to 2.00 higher.
