As filed

Compared to last week, a much lighter offering this week with steer calves under 550 lbs lightly tested, 550-600 lbs steers sold 2.00-5.00 higher, with 600-700 lbs on a lighter offering trading with a firm to higher undertone, pot load of 852 lb steers sold 5.00 higher than last week's pot of same weight and similar quality the other two pot loads of 800-and 832 lbs were not tested with last week. Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs sold steady to firm on a light comparison with all other weights lightly tested. Demand was good on a light supply with a couple of stick out sales included 51 steers weighing 742 lbs at 380.25 and 60 steers weighing 852 lbs at 337.75. Slaughter cows mostly low and average dressing sold 5.00-10.00 lower on a light offering.
