As filed

Compared to the last special 3 weeks ago, the best test on feeder steers weighed 550-650 lbs sold mostly 5.00-10.00 higher, over 650 lbs sold with a higher undertone. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs sold mostly steady, with two pot loads of good quality blk heifers weighing 640-695 lbs selling with a higher undertone. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady to spots 2.00 lower with the bulk average to low dressing cows. Demand was moderate to good with supply moderate to heavy. Several nice consignments of good quality blk steers calves weighing 550-700 lbs that were long timed weaned and had two round of shots and a pot load of steers weighing 765 lbs and two pot loads of 6 weight heifers sold with the best demand.
