As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, steer calves under 550 lbs sold with a sharply higher undertone, with 550-600 lbs steers trading mostly 5.00 higher and steers over 600 lbs were lightly tested. Feeder heifers sold mostly steady on comparable weights and quality. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-3.00 lower. Offerings sold mostly in small groups and bunches but quality was very good on the black weaned steer calves weighing 450-600 lbs and sold with very good demand.
