As filed

Compared to last week, 4 weight steer calves were not well tested, with 5 weights selling steady to 7.00 higher, a much larger offering of 6 weight steers and yearling steers weighing 700-850 lbs sold with a firm to higher undertone, with a pot load of 861 lb steers trading 7.00 higher than last week's offering. Feeder heifers were not well tested on a limited offering with the 600-650 lb heifers mostly calves and not well tested with last week's pot loads of yearling heifers. Bulk of Monday's offering was steer calves and yearling steers selling with good demand on a moderate supply. Couple stick out sales included a pot load of 833 lb steers at 254.00 and a pot load of 861 lb steers at 253.00. Friday's Cattle on Feed report was mostly neutral with on feed at 100 percent, Placements came in a little above expectations at 98 percent and Marketings at 102 percent. Slaughter cows sold 5.00-10.00 lower than last week's very active market.
