As filed

Compared to last week, market gained back all it lost last week and added on considerably as a light test from last week of 4 weight steers sold with a sharply higher undertone, 500-550 lbs sold firm to 10.00 higher, 550-600 lb steers sold 15.00-20.00 higher, spots 25.00 higher, 600-700 lbs steers sold 5.00-10.00 higher and yearling steers over 700 lbs sold mostly 8.00-14.00 higher on the large drafts and pot loads. Feeder heifers gained the most as 400-600 lb heifers sold mostly 20.00-30.00 higher spots 35.00-40.00 higher on the 400-450 lb heifers with 600-700 lbs trading mostly steady, over 700 lbs sold with a firm to higher undertone. Market was very active on a heavy supply with lots of attractive/top quality calves and yearlings in the offering many selling with good weighing conditions. Much warmer temperatures this week, with the fed cattle market that keeps reaching new highs every week with most sales last week in the Northern Plains at 210.00-212.00, also COF report on Friday was friendly with Placements at 97 percent. Several stick out sales included pot load steers weighing 798 lbs 285.25, pot load steers weighing 829 lbs at 279.75, 120 head 904 lb steers at 266.60 and 38 head of 509 lb heifers at 351.00. Slaughter cows sold steady.
