As filed

Compared to last week, steers under 450 lbs sold on a sharply higher undertone ; 450-650 lbs sold 4.00 to 7.00 higher; 650-700 lbs sold steady to 2.00 higher; over 700 lbs steady to 1.00 lower. Heifers under 450 lbs sold on a sharply higher undertone; 450-600 lbs sold 1.00 to 4.00 higher; over 600 lbs were steady to weak. Pressure in the CME Cattle Complex and lower fed cattle prices the past few week pressured the bigger cattle today, however grazing cattle were met with good to very good demand going to several outlets.
