As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves under 550 lbs were lightly tested on limited offerings, with 550-700 lbs selling mostly steady and 700-750 lb steers trading with a lower undertone on limited comparisons. Feeder heifers weighing 400-450 lbs on a light test sold with a firm to higher undertone, 500-550 lbs on limited test sold with a lower undertone compared to last week's active market, 550-600 lbs and 650-700 lbs all traded steady. Demand was good on a moderate supply. Steer calves under 550 lbs didn't have the numbers or the quality to match last week's offering, but demand remains good on grazing weights. Slaughter cows on a light offering sold mostly 4.00-8.00 higher.
