As filed

Compared to last week steer calves under 700 lbs sold 1.00 to 2.00 lower while steers 750 to 800 and 900 to 950 lb steers sold 4.00 lower. 800 to 900 lb feeder steers sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Heifers there were too few for a good comparison, however a lower undertone was noted. The receipts were light and the demand was moderate.
