As filed

Compared to last week: Steer calves under 600 lbs. 6.00-12.00 higher, feeders over 600 lbs. 6.00 higher. Heifer calves under 600 lbs. 3.00-4.00 higher, no comparison on feeders over 600 lbs. due to limited offerings. Slaughter cows mostly steady except lean cows 3.00 lower though quality not as attractive, bulls 1.00 lower. Trade active, demand good.
