As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves 5.00-10.00 higher. Heifer calves sold mostly 3.00-7.00 higher on comparable sales. Feeder steers and heifers have no accurate comparison. Trade active, demand good for calves that are suitable for grazing. Slaughter bulls sold 2.00-8.00 higher on comparable weights. Slaughter cows sold mixed, with breaker cattle selling steady and boner and lean cattle selling to 2:00-3:00 lower. Slaughter bulls have no comparison due to light receipts last week.
