As filed

Compared to last week; Steer calves 350-600 lbs had signfiicantly lower numbers because of the holiday weekend, but a higher market was felt. Heifer calves 400-500 lbs were 10.00-11.00 higher while 500-550 lbs were 10.00 lower; 550-600 lbs were substantially higher on lower numbers also. Feeder steers had insuffiient numbers to compare, but a steady market prevailed.. Feeder heifers were sharply lower on much lower numbers as well. Slaughter cows were steady and slaughter bulls sold steady to 2.00 higher. Trade was moderate on low numbers with good demand. Excellent buyer attendance
