As filed

Compared to last week, best test was on 500-700 lb steer calves trading mostly steady with 700-800 lbs selling with a higher undertone with a light test from last week. Feeder heifer quality was not as attractive as last week with the best demand on two lots of 800-815 lb heifers selling with good demand with a few 4 weight heifers selling steady to firm and the rest lightly tested. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm on a nice offering. Demand was moderate to good on a moderate supply.
