As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steer calves sold uneven with those under 550 lbs steady to 5.00 higher with spots 10.00 higher while those over 550 lbs sold steady to 5.00 lower with spots 10.00 lower. Heifers sold uneven as well from 5.00 higher to 5.00 lower. A good quality run of calves and a few yearlings were offered and demand was good. There's been a lot of volatility in the futures markets since the last sale, causing the uneven cash trade but cattle have been in the green the last couple of days and the cash market performed well on Wednesday in Windsor, Mo. Slaughter cows sold 1.00-3.00 higher, bulls steady.
