As filed

Compared to last week: No accurate comparison on steer calves 300-350 lbs. and 500-550 lbs. due to more attractive weighing conditions last week but other weights steady to 2.00 lower. Feeders over 600 lbs. not well tested but a higher undertone noted on a few yearling type offerings. Feeder heifers and calves mostly 1.00 lower except 300-350 lbs. 2.00 higher and 450-500 lbs. 5.00 higher though quality more attractive. Slaughter cows steady to strong, bulls 2.00 higher. Trade active demand good.
