As filed

Compared to last week, trade activity and demand was moderate. Half the supply of today's sale was calves weaned 30 to 60 days and other half coming off the cow or less than 2 weeks weaned. Most calves were preconditioned and on a vaccination program. Compared to last week price trend was uneven. Steers under 550 pounds mostly traded lower 1.00 to 5.00 with a few sharply lower, while steers above 550 pounds traded mostly 1.00 to 8.00 higher with a few fancy sets trading sharply higher.. Feeder heifers under 500 pounds traded 7.00 to 12.00 lower with a few sharply lower, while heifers over 500 pounds traded 6.00 to 15.00 higher. Next available report will be as receipts warrant.
