As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves under 600 lbs. 8.00-10.00 higher, a fee value added 13.00-15.00 higher though quality and weighing conditions more attractive. Calves and feeders over 600 lbs. steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower, bulls 3.00 lower. Trade active, demand very good on calves and feeders, trade and demand moderate on slaughter cows and bulls.
