As filed

Compared to the auction 2 weeks ago, no test on lighter weight steer calves, eight weight steers were 8.00 - 10.00 higher. Heifers weighing 800 - 900 lbs were fully steady to 2.00 lower. Available today were many load lots of quality yearling steers and heifers coming off grass. Demand was very good for today's moderate supply. Trade was active.
