As filed

Compared to last week; steer calves under 600 lbs traded unevenly steady to 3.00 higher. 600 lb steers traded steady with not enough receipts for any other comparisons to last week. Heifer calves traded steady with the exception of a few instances of 600 lb heifers trading 2.00 lower. Nice offering of all classes of cattle with active bidding throughout but most buyers very active on green grass type cattle.
