As filed

Compared to last week, 400-500 lb steer calves sold fully steady to firm, with 500-650 lb steers selling 5.00-10.00 higher, spots 12.00 higher, 650-800 lbs sold firm to 5.00 higher and over 800 lbs were not well tested on comparable sales. Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs sold steady to firm, with 500-600 lbs selling firm to 5.00 higher and 600-700 lb sold with a sharply higher undertone with few comparisons from last week, a pot load of 735 lb heifers were not tested. Demand was good on a moderate supply, overall demand was good on all calves going to grass with the best demand on 450-650 lb steers. Once again a very attractive offering of steer and heifer calves along with a nice offering of yearlings all selling on and active market. Slaughter cows sold 4.00-8.00 higher on a good quality offering.
