As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, steer calves weighing 400-500 lbs sold with a firm undertone, 500-700 lb steers were not well tested but sold with a sharply higher undertone, over 700 lbs were not tested. The best test was on the 400-600 lb heifers trading 10.00-20.00 higher, with 600-750 lbs selling firm to 6.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate offering. Slaughter steers and heifers and slaughter cows all sold fully steady with last week's market.
