As filed

Compared to last week, a much lighter offering this week with steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs lightly tested with few comparisons, 6 weight steers sold mostly 5.00-10.00 lower compared to last week's very active market, a pot load of good quality steers weighing 711 lbs sold 3.00 lower than last week's pot loads with a couple groups of 750-800 lb steers trading with a firm undertone. Feeder heifers weighing 600-700 lbs sold mostly 3.00-8.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good with a light to moderate supply. Overall quality and numbers were not as attractive as last week with one stick out sale a pot load of 711 lb steers selling at 294.75. Excessive heat and high humidity over the next several days are expected. Slaughter cows on a much larger offering sold steady to spots 3.00 higher on the high dressing cows.
