As filed

Compared to the last auction two weeks ago, steer calves under 550 lbs were lightly tested and sold with a lower undertone, 550-600 lbs sold 6.00-8.00 lower, a light test of 6 weight steers sold mostly 8.00-10.00 lower and over 700 lbs were not well tested. Feeder heifers weighing 450-500 lbs on light test sold steady to 3.00 lower, 500-700 lb heifers sold 5.00-7.00 lower than two weeks ago. Slaughter cows on a light test sold steady to 2.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good on a moderate offering, with a nice offering of good quality 600-700 lb heifers selling with good demand. Market continues to come under pressure from high escalating corn prices and cattle futures struggling to find a comfortable position.
