Compared to the last auction two weeks ago, Tuesday's receipts were much larger with the best test on unweaned 450-600 lb steers selling steady to firm with the last sale, weaned calves were not well tested, 600-650 lb steers sold steady to 5.00 lower, with several pot loads of yearling steers over 700 lbs selling with good demand with no recent test. Feeder heifers weighing 450-500 lbs sold 3.00-8.00 lower with the most decline on the 500-550 lb heifers with 4 pot loads of 650-700 lb heifers selling with a firm undertone. Demand was moderate to good on a moderate supply, best demand was on the pot load lots of yearling steers and heifers and a few long timed weaned steer calves weighing 500-550 lbs. Market held up well despite Monday's huge losses with several stick-out sales including 51 steers weighing 722 lbs at 266.85, pot load 784 lb steers at 250.25 and pot load of fancy heifers weighing 655 lbs at 266.00. Slaughter cows sold steady to firm with two week's ago light offering.
