As filed

Compared to last week, there were too few good comparisons of steers weighing 400-750 lbs and heifers weighing 400-700 lbs to test the market, but feeder steers and heifers sold with a higher undertone. The best test was on the pot loads of 700-750 lb heifers trading 2.00-4.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-5.00 higher. Demand was good on a moderate supply of feeders, with the best demand on the pot loads of yearling heifers weighing 695-735 lbs with the 725-735 lb heifers selling from 252.10-256.60, pot load heifers weighing 695 lbs at 260.10 and a near pot load of steers weighing 723 lbs at 277.00.
