As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, steer calves weighing 400-650 lbs and heifers weighing 400-600 lbs sold steady to firm, with steers over 650 lbs not well tested and heifers weighing 650-750 lbs selling with a firm undertone. Slaughter cows on a heavy offering sold steady to 3.00 lower with the most decline on the boning and breaking cows. Demand was moderate to good on a heavy offering, A nice offering of steer and heifer calves weighing 400-650 lbs along with a good quality offering of 650-700 lb heifers all selling with good demand. Despite higher corn prices this week with nearby months up 33-39 cents and Fed cattle prices stuck on steady money for the most part for the past four weeks demand remains good for feeders.
