As filed

Compared to last week; steer calves under 650 lbs sold unevenly steady with a few instances 3.00 higher. Steers over 650 lbs sold 4.00 to 6.00 lower. Not a large run of feeder steers over 700 lbs. Heifer calves under 550 lbs also sold unevenly steady. Heifer calves over 550 lbs traded 4.00 to 5.00 lower. Nice offering of feeder cattle with a small offering of nice strings of replacement quality heifers.
