As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, a light test of steer calves weighing 500-650 lbs sold firm to 5.00 higher, with weights over 650 not tested. Feeder heifers weighing under 700 lbs were not well tested with overall quality not very attractive, but four pot loads of good quality black heifers weighing 835-965 lb heifers sold with a firm to higher undertone on good demand. Slaughter cows sold 2.00-4.00 lower.
