As filed

Compared to last week: Steer calves under 600 lbs. 12.00-17.00 higher though quality more attractive. Feeders and calves over 600 lbs. 5.00-8.00 higher. Heifer calves under 600 lbs. 7.00-12.00 higher, feeders and calves over 600 lbs. 5.00-9.00 higher. Trade active, demand very good with more buyer participation. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 lower, bulls steady.
