Compared to last week, a lighter offering of steer and heifer calves this week but overall a very good quality offering with steer calves weighing 400-550 lbs selling 5.00-10.00 higher, 550-650 lbs sold fully steady to firm, with spots 3.00 higher on the 600-650 lb steers and over 700 lbs sold with a higher undertone on few comparisons from last week. Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs sold on a very active market trading 10.00-18.00 higher, spots 20.00 higher and 500-550 lbs selling 8.00-15.00 higher with heifers over 550 lbs lightly tested but selling with a firm to higher undertone. Demand was very good on a moderate supply with the steer and heifer calves trading on a very active market weighing under 550 lbs with several stick-out sales of fancy/thin black 450-585 lb heifers. Also in the offering were several pot loads of 850-900 lb steers selling with good demand. Slaughter cows sold firm to 5.00 higher with the most advance on the high dressing and Lean cows. Friday's Cattle on Feed Report was friendly with On Feed and Placements coming in with expectations at 96 percent and Marketings at 104 percent.
