As filed

Compared to last week, a light test of lightweight steer and heifer calves under 500 lbs sold with a sharply higher undertone, 500-650 lb steers sold firm to 5.00 higher, with 650-750 lbs trading firm to 2.00 higher and steers over 750 lbs had a couple of groups selling mostly steady on comparable weights and quality. Feeder heifers weighing 500-650 lbs sold with a firm undertone on a light test with a pot load weighing 651 lbs and a part load weighing 675 lbs selling with a higher undertone. Monday's offering was much lighter than last week, with most of the steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs selling in small packages, groups and singles but sold on a very active market with buyers wanting to own light weight calves for grass, several groups of 650-700 lb steers and a pot load of 650 lb heifers also sold on and active market. Slaughter steers and heifers sold firm to 2.00 higher than last week's offering with slaughter cows selling firm to 4.00 higher with the most advance on the high dressing cows.
