As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold uneven as the calves under 500 lbs and the yearlings over 650 lbs sold mostly steady but the middle weight calves from 500-650 lbs lost the gains from last week and sold 5.00-15.00 lower on lighter demand and with more un-weaned and/or fleshy calves in the mix. Heifer sold steady to 5.00 higher except for calves weighing 450-550 lbs 5.00-10.00 lower with the same story as their brothers, more soft calves in the mix this week. Demand was moderate for a heavy supply with several long strings of yearlings on hand along with some fancy new crop calves. The new crop calves saw more discount this week if they were carrying flesh.
