As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, steer calves weighing 450-550 lbs sold with a higher undertone on a light test, with 550-800 lb steers and 500-750 lbs heifers all trading 5.00-10.00 higher on a very active market. Demand was good on a moderate offering. Offering included a number of very good consignments of top quality calves and yearlings weighing mostly 500-800 lbs with a couple of top consignments of Replacement heifers selling with very good demand. Slaughter cows sold fully steady to firm with the very active market from two week ago along with a very active high dressing slaughter bull market.
