As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, weaned steer calves under 600 lbs sold with a firm to higher undertone on a light test of comparable sales , with 6 weight steer calves selling steady to 3.00 lower and weights over 700 lbs not tested. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs sold steady to firm, with weights over 600 lb not tested. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm. Demand was moderate to good on weaned calves with supply moderate. Overall a lot of good quality calves in Friday's offering, but many were fleshy or unweaned selling with light to moderate demand.
