As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves under 600 lbs on comparable sales and quality traded mostly steady, with the bulk being new crop calves as overall quality was not as attractive as last week, steers over 600 lbs were very lightly tested with few good comparisons. Feeder heifers weighing 400-500 lbs sold mostly steady on comparable sales, with 500-550 lb heifers trading 2.00-5.00 higher and 550-650 lbs selling steady to firm on the better quality heifers.
