As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves traded steady to weak while heifer calves traded unevenly steady from 2.00 lower to 2.00 higher. There were too few yearlings for an adequate comparison, however undertones were lower. Demand was moderate on a heavy supply which was presented mostly in individual and small packages. Steers averaged 599 lbs at $138.09/cwt while heifers averaged 549 lbs at $125.37/cwt.
