As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves under 550 lbs were lightly tested and sold with a firm to higher undertone, 550-600 lbs sold steady, with over 600 lbs selling mostly in pot loads, part loads and groups traded steady on comparable weights and quality. Feeder heifers under 500 lbs sold with a firm to higher undertone on few comparable sales, 500-600 lbs sold firm to 5.00 higher, with the most advance on the 550-600 lb heifers, 600-750 lbs traded steady to firm. Demand was good on a moderate supply. There was one consignment of near 300 head of steers all selling with good weighing conditions that consisted of pot load thin steers 575 lbs at 313.60, pot load 640 lbs at 294.50, pot load thin 822 lbs 250.00; three pot loads of steers weighing 877-891 lbs sold from 240.75-242.75. Much needed rain fell throughout the trade area over the weekend into Monday providing relief and improved pasture conditions. Slaughter cows sold 4.00-7.00 lower.
