As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer caves under 600 lbs. 9.00-13.00 higher except 500-600 lb heifers 3.00 higher. Unweaned steers over 600 lbs. instances 9.00 higher, no comparison on feeder types. Unweaned heifers over 600 lbs. 1.00 lower except a few replacements steady. Slaughter cows 1.00 lower , no comparison on bulls due to very limited receipts. Trade active, demand very good on calves following the holiday with renewed activity.
