As filed

Compared to last week's light volume sale, the best test was on 450-650 lb steers selling firm to 5.00 higher, with weights over 650 lbs trading with a higher undertone. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs were lightly tested and sold with a higher undertone with three pot loads of 7 weight heifers selling with a sharply higher undertone. Slaughter cows sold firm to 4.00 higher. A nice quality offering of 400-650 steers and a pot load of 870 lb steers all sold with good demand on and active market along with the 7 weight heifers. September corn closed 9 1/4 cents lower with December corn closing 10 1/4 cents lower with Feeder Cattle contracts for September, October and November 155.00-175.00 higher to start the week.
