As filed

Compared to last week: Steer calves under 600 lbs. 3.00-5.00 higher, a few feeders over 600 lbs. steady, calves steady to 3.00 lower. Heifer calves under 500 lbs. 5.00-6.00 higher, over 500 lbs. 1.00 lower on unweaned calves. No comparison on feeders due to very limited offerings. Slaughter cows 3.00 lower, bulls steady. Trade moderate to active, demand moderate to good.
