As filed

Compared to the last feeder special three weeks ago, overall calf quality was not as attractive with the best test on heifer calves under 600 lbs trading mostly steady to firm, with yearling heifers over 700 lbs selling steady to 4.00 higher. Weaned steers calves under 600 lbs were lightly tested with few good comparisons and yearling steers scarce. Lot of singles and small packages in Friday's offering, along with calves carrying some flesh, un-weaned, short-weaned, no vaccination program and lots of crossbred calves in the mix all sold with light to moderate demand. Yearling heifers sold with the best demand. Slaughter cow sold steady to 2.00 lower with the most decline on the breaking cows.
