As filed

Compared to last week: Steer calves under 600 lbs. mixed, 2.00-5.00 higher to 3.00 lower on 500-600 lb. offerings, calves and feeders over 600 lbs. mostly 2.00 lower, a few 700-750 lbs. 5.00-7.00 lower. Heifer calves under 600 lbs. steady to 2.00 lower except 300-400 lbs. instances 10.00 lower though weighing conditions not as attractive. Feeders and calves over 600 lbs. 3.00 lower. An accurate comparison difficult this week with more unweaned and fleshy offerings available. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 lower, bulls steady to weak. Trade and demand moderate.
