As filed

Compared to the last auction two weeks ago, steer calves under 500 lbs were lightly tested, with 500-600 lbs and 650-700 lbs steers selling 2.00-5.00 higher and weights over 700 lbs sold with a higher undertone. Feeder heifers weighing 450-500 lbs sold steady to firm with 500-600 lb heifers trading mostly 5.00 higher, spots 7.00 higher and a pot load of 705 lb heifers off the same consignment as last auction sold 4.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good with supply moderate. A nice offering of feeders weighing 500-700 lbs sold on and active market. Last week's higher fat cattle trade sparked buying interest specially on yearling feeders. Slaughter cow sold fully steady to firm.
