As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steer calves sold sharply higher catching up with the big gains in the feeder market. Yearling steers 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Heifers steady except those weighing 450-600 lbs trading sharply higher as well. Slaughter cows 4.00 to 6.00 higher. As usual, yearling load lots led the way for the rest of the offering with very good demand for all weights and classes of cattle. The calf market has caught fire, again, but the cattle market as a whole is in pretty good position fundamentally wrapping up the calendar year. Supply moderate.
