As filed

Compared to last week, a light offering and test of steer and heifer calves sold mostly in small packages, groups and singles with the better quality steer and heifer calves selling with a firm undertone, several small packages of good quality 3 weight steers and heifers traded with a higher undertone. Slaughter steers and heifers traded 3.00-5.00 lower when compared to the last tested market two weeks ago. A large offering of slaughter cows sold firm to 3.00 higher, spots 5.00 higher on the high dressing cows.
