As filed

Compared to last week, more weaned calves on a health program were in the offering and they sold 5.00-15.00 higher with spots sharply higher than last week's lower market. A couple groups of long weaned grass yearling steers weighing 650-800 lbs sold with a higher undertone to limited recent comparisons and the yearling heifers sold steady to 5.00 higher. The overall quality was more attractive and demand was good. Supply was moderate with a rain on Monday likely keeping some cattle at home. Slaughter cows sold stedy to 5.00 lower, bulls steady.
