As filed

Compared to a better test of the market from two weeks ago, steer calves under 550 lbs sold 5.00-12.00 higher and steers over 550 lbs sold mostly steady. Heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher. A really nice offering of reputation calves was offered and buyers pushed the steer calves in particular to some impressive levels. Demand was good to very good for a moderate supply. Slaughter cows sold steady to 4.00 higher, bulls sold with a sharply higher undertone.
