As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, 400-500 lb steer calves sold mostly steady, with 500-650 lbs selling 5.00-10.00 lower and over 650-lbs not tested. Feeder heifers on a light test weighing under 600 lbs sold with a lower undertone, over 600 lbs on a light test traded steady to firm. Slaughter cows- high dressing cows traded mostly steady with the bulk average to low dressing cows selling 2.00-4.00 lower. A nice quality offering of steer calves weighing 400-650 lbs sold with good demand, despite 5 weight steers backing off from their lofty prices remain in good demand on the long timed weaned calves with vaccination shots. A good quality offering of a pot load of 810 lb heifers and several smaller consignments of 550-750 lb heifers sold with good demand.
