As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves under 600 lbs on a light offering and heifer calves under 650 lbs sold steady to firm on the better quality weaned calves, with 750-800 lb steers trading firm to 2.00 higher. Demand was good on a light to moderate offering. Feeder calves are selling in a wide range with the variance ranging from unweaned, right off the cow, to short weaned 30 days or less to over 45 days with vaccination programs from no shots to 2 rounds, with quality and condition and weather all making a difference. The 6 weight steers were all bigger calves weaned 30-45 days. Stick out sales included a pot load of steers weighing 764 lbs at 375.00 and 34 heifer calves weighing 517 lbs at 420.00. Calves sold mostly in small packages. Slaughter cows sold steady.
