As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves traded 2.00-4.00 higher with heifer calves trading 3.00-6.00 higher. There were too few yearlings last week for an adequate comparison however undertones were higher. Demand was good on a heavy supply which included several pot-loads of yearling steers. Steers averaged 604 lbs at $142.89/cwt while heifers averaged 545 lbs at $128.77/cwt.
