As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves weighing 400-600 lbs sold fully steady to firm with last week's very active market, 600-700 lbs traded 5.00-8.00 higher and over 700 lbs were lightly tested. Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs sold steady to firm, spots 3.00 higher on the 400-450 lbs, 500-600 lb heifers sold 5.00-8.00 higher with 600-700 lbs selling with a sharply higher undertone on few comparable sales over 700 lbs were not tested. Demand was good on a heavy offering of feeders with a very active market on 400-650 lb feeders. Several stick-out sales of 6 weight steers and heifers with a couple of pot loads and groups of attractive steers and heifers with good weighing conditions, overall a very good quality offering of calves as buyers could put together strings of feeders. Slaughter cows sold firm to 3.00 higher with most advance on the high dressing cows.
