As filed

Compared to the last special three weeks ago, steer calves under 550 lbs sold with a firm undertone, 550-600 lbs traded steady to 6.00 higher with over 600 lbs not well tested on comparable sales. Feeder heifers had the best test on 500-750 lb selling mostly 5.00-8.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good on a moderate supply. Overall a nice quality offering of calves and yearlings with several consignments of unweaned/short weaned calves in the offering. The largest consignment was two pot loads of Large Frame heifers weighing 1060 lbs selling at 200.00. Slaughter cows sold steady with a light test of slaughter steers and heifers trading steady to firm.

Fed Cattle — the cash market and what quality pays

Beef & Retail — from the box to the grocery shelf

Feed & Hay — the cost side, cash not futures
