As filed

Compared to last week, lightweight steer calves under 450lbs sold with a higher undertone, and steers over 450lbs sold unevenly steady from 2.00 higher to 4.00 lower. Heifers under 550lbs sold with a sharply higher undertone, while heifers over 550lbs were steady to 4.00 lower. Quality this week for the most part did not match last week's attractive yearling special, but still many small consignments of nice calves were met with good demand. Supply was moderate.
