As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, a much lighter test (last special over 3000) with steer calves on a light test selling with a firm to higher undertone, over 650 lbs sold steady to firm on comparable sales. Feeder heifers sold fully steady to firm. Slaughter steers and heifers traded steady with slaughter cows selling steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply with more new crop calves coming to market. Largest draft sold was a pot load of heifers weighing 737 lbs at 271.00 and a part load of steers weighing 704 lbs at 324.00.
