As filed

Compared to the last true test of the market which was 3 weeks ago, steer calves weighing 500-650 lbs traded 10.00-15.00 higher and those lighter and heavier of that weight range traded steady to 5.00 higher. Heifer calves under 550 lbs traded with a similar trend selling 6.00-15.00 higher with the most gain on an attractive offering weighing 400-450 lbs and heifers over 550 lbs traded mostly steady. Demand was very good as market fundamentals are bullish and buyers are eager to fill grass orders knowing that the reputation cattle like was offered will soon be in short supply. Supply was moderate. Slaughter cows sold 6.00-10.00 higher except for lean cows selling steady.
