As filed

Compared to the last special three weeks ago, steer calves weighing 550-600 lbs and 700-800 lb sold 3.00-8.00 higher, with steers and heifers weighing 600-700 lbs trading 3.00-5.00 higher with all other weights selling with a firm to higher undertone on a light test. Demand was moderate to good with the best demand on the 500-800 lb steers and 550-700 lb heifers with good quality offering and many selling with good weighing conditions. Feeder cattle continue to be met with good demand as fed cattle this week were higher trading mostly from 103.00-106.00 and dressed sales in Nebraska at 168.00.
