As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, a light test of 500-650 lb steers sold steady to firm, with weights over 650 lbs not well tested. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs were not tested with 4 pot loads of top quality fancy/thin blk heifers weighing 654-725 lbs trading with a sharply higher undertone. Demand was good on a moderate supply with the best demand on the pot loads of heifers. Stick out sales included the pot loads of thin/fancy heifers with a pot load weighing 654 at 274.00, pot load weighing 669 lbs at 270.00, two pot loads weighing 722-725 lbs at 263.10-265.00. Slaughter cows sold steady on a light offering.
