As filed

Compared to the light receipts from two weeks ago, steer calves under 600 lbs steady, with feeder steers over 600 lbs 3.00-5.00 lower. Feeder heifers 5.00-10.00 lower. A good supply of both calves and yearlings, with the highlight of the yearlings a load of 885 lb heifers selling for 205.00, coming from a long time reputation backgrounder from Shelby county. The crowd was treated with the 2023 World Livestock Auctioneer Champion, Jacob Massey from Petersburg, Tennessee, that stopped by the market to sell most of the afternoon offering. Demand and supply moderate.
