As filed

Compared to last week, a much lighter offering of feeders this week, with 400-500 lb steer calves lightly tested but trading with a weak to lower undertone, 500-550 lb steers sold 5.00-7.00 lower than last week's sharply higher market pretty much giving up last weeks gains, light test of 550-600 lbs sold firm to 5.00 higher, with 600-650 lb selling fully steady to firm, and 650-710 lbs lightly tested with several stick out sales of groups of fancy blk steers selling sharply higher on a very active market. Feeder heifers weighing 500-600 lbs sold steady to spots 3.00 higher, with 600-750 lbs trading steady to firm on a light comparison with last week and a pot load of 830 lb blk heifers sold with a sharply higher undertone. Demand was good on a moderate offering of attractive quality steer and heifer calves weighing mostly 500-700 lbs and a pot load of 830 heifers selling with very good demand. Slaughter cows on a light test sold steady to firm with last week.
