As filed

Compared to last week, a much larger offering this week with feeder steers of all weights selling with a sharply higher undertone as steer calves last week were in light supply with yearlings not matching up well on weight groups. The best test on heifers weighed 550-650 lbs trading 15.00-25.00 higher with all other weights of heifers selling with a higher undertone. Overall a very good quality offering of calves and yearlings all selling with good to very good demand as market continues to be very active and very competitive. Several offerings of unweaned calves showing up at the auction. The pot loads and stick out sales included 67 steers weighing 600 lbs at 448.00, 80 steers weighing 611 at 433.50, 36 steers weighing 662 lbs 422.50 and pot load 83 hd of heifers weighing 634 lbs at 405.00. Slaughter cows traded steady to firm.
