As filed

Compared to the last sale three weeks ago, steer calves and yearling steers were lightly tested on limited offering of comparable sales but all sold with a higher undertone, heifers had the best test on 700-750 lbs trading 9.00-15.00 higher with all other weights selling with a higher undertone on a light offering. Bulk of the feeder steers weighed 650-915 lbs with the bulk of the heifers weighing 650-750 lbs all sold with good demand. Slaughter cows on a light test sold steady with the last auction.
