As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, the best test was on steers weighing 500-600 lbs trading 10.00-20.00 higher, spots 25.00 higher with a pot load of 873 lb steers trading 11.00 higher than a similar load from two weeks ago. Feeder heifer market was mostly about a consignment of 480 hd of heifers averaging 661 lbs that sold with a sharply higher undertone with other weights lightly tested and selling with a firm to higher undertone. Demand was good to very good on a moderate supply with the stick out sale being the 6 pot loads (480 hd) of heifers that averaged 661 lbs with good weighing conditions dropping the gavel at 390.10. Pot load of steers weighing 724 lbs sold at 392.00 and a pot load weighing 873 lbs at 351.75. Slaughter cows on a light test sold steady.
