As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs. unevenly steady to 5.00 higher, the most advance on 500-600 lbs., feeders over 600 lbs. 1.00-6.00 higher though quality more attractive. Slaughter cows mostly steady, no comparison on bulls due to limited receipts last week but a higher undertone noted. Trade moderate to active, demand moderate to good.
