As filed

Compared to last week: Steer calves 7.00 to 10.00 higher, heifer calves fully 10.00 fully. Yearling steers and heifers were of different weights from last week, no comparison. Very good demand for this nice offering of spring born steer and heifer calves, many were weaned and the quality was attractive. The market was incredibly active on the calves as there were ample buyers on the seats actively bidding, the bidding was fast paced as many times bids were taken 2.50 to 5.00 at a time. The Live and Feeder Cattle futures were lower but this had no affect on the market as cattle feeders were able to sell fats up to 191.00 last Friday and paid little attention to the movement on the board. This week's yearling offering was in a heavier flesh condition, the quality was attractive however overall. The yearling trade was active, there remains great demand for yearlings as this supply gets very tight.
