As filed

Compared to last week, a much lighter offering this week with steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs selling unevenly steady as overall numbers and quality didn't run as deep as last week with several inches of rain and storms over the Easter weekend had receipts much lighter. Steers weighing 650-800 lbs were not well tested but sold with a firm to higher undertone with three pot loads of 9 weight steers selling mostly steady, heifers over 600 lbs were not tested. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm.
