As filed

Compared to last week's very active market, this week's market was very uneven with a light test of 400-500 lb steers selling with a lower undertone, 500-550 lb steers held their ground and traded steady to firm with 550-600 lbs steers selling mostly 5.00-10.00 lower, 600-650 lb steers sold mostly 10.00-15.00 lower with 650-800 lb selling 2.00-5.00 lower and yearling steers over 800 lbs trading 3.00-10.00 lower with the most decline on the 8 weight steers. Feeder heifers weighing 450-550 lbs on a lighter offering than last week sold 10.00-18.00 lower, with 600-650 lb heifers selling steady to firm, and near 350 head of 650-700 lb heifers sold with a firm to higher undertone. Demand was moderate to good with supply moderate to heavy. The market lost some momentum on the 550-650 lb steers this week also on the 450-550 lb heifers but numbers were also much lighter on the heifers and the the overall quality on many of the calves didn't run as deep as last week. Demand still remains good on the top quality feeders that are long timed weaned and with a vaccination program but last week's aggressive market was hard to top. Several stick out sales included 40 head of 522 lb steers at 380.00, 82 head of 701 lb steers at 298.25, pot load of 939 lb steers at 255.35 and a pot load of heifers weighing 662 lbs at 283.85. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-10.00 higher on and active market.
