As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, 400-500 lb steer calves sold with a sharply higher undertone on a light test from two weeks ago, 500-700 lbs sold with firm to higher undertone on few comparable sales with 700-800 lbs not well tested but trading with a weak to lower undertone. Feeder heifers had the best test on the 600-700 lbs selling steady to firm with under 600 lbs selling with a firm to higher undertone. Overall quality was very good on steer and heifer calves weighing 400-600 lbs and yearling heifers weighing 600-700 lbs, also in the offering were several lots of top quality replacement heifers all selling on a very active market as calves were all long timed weaned with full round of shots. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher on a light test.
