As filed

Compared to the last reported sale from two weeks ago, steer and heifer calves under 550 lbs were lightly tested but sold with a steady undertone, while the mid weight, long weaned calves from 550-700 lbs sold steady to a few dollars higher in spots and yearlings sold 4.00-8.00 lower. Cattle futures have seen significant losses over the last couple weeks including a big down day on Tuesday and the overall direction of the market is lower, but the hard weaned calves will be harder to find moving forward and with cheap feed they saw good demand. Overall, demand was moderate for a moderate supply. A few new crop calves have started to make their way to town. Slaughter cows sold 2.00 higher to 2.00 lower.
