As filed

Compared to last week, steer calves under 400 lbs not well tested; over 400 lbs traded 8.00-12.00 higher, with the exception of 450-500 lbs 5.00-6.00 lower. Heifer calves sold 5.00-10.00 higher, with 550-600 lbs 5.00 lower. Feeder steers 600-650 lbs steady; 650-700 lbs 6.00-8.00 higher; over 700 lbs have no comparison. Trade mostly active, demand good. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls have no comparison due to light offers last week.

Slaughter cattle
