As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, steer and heifer calves sold with a lower undertone with few good comparisons, with yearlings not tested but selling with a lower undertone as well. Other than two pot loads of 9 weight heifers the bulk of the offering was made up of small lots, packages and singles of mostly calves with many unweaned or short weaned . A very varied quality offering of calves that sold with light to moderate demand with the pot loads of yearling heifers selling with moderate demand. Slaughter steers and heifers sold 2.00-3.00 lower. Slaughter cows traded uneven with breaking and premium white cows selling mostly steady and boning and lean cows 3.00-5.00 lower.
