As filed

Compared to last week with significantly smaller numbers; Steer calves 350-500 lbs were 9.00-10.00 higher, 500-550 lbs sold 2.00 higher while 550-600 lbs were 3.00 lower. Feeder steers 600-650 lbs sold 2.00 lower and 650-700 lbs sold 8.00 higher. Heifer calves 350-400 lbs were 12.00 higher and 400-450 lbs sold 5.00 lower. 450-500 lbs were 12.00 lower and 500-550 lbs sold 6.00 lower. Feeder heifers 600-650 were 4.00 lower while 650-700 lbs sold 5.00 higher.Keep in mind there were much smaller numbers to trade on. Slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 higher and slaughter bulls held steady. Trade was sluggish on smaller numbers with good demand.Excellent buyer attendance
