offering. Light weight steers 350 lbs and under appeared steady with a light
test, while the 400-600 lbs steers were 6.00 to 10.00 higher or greater in
spots with a good supply and strong demand for weaned and thinner conditioned
calves. Feeder heifers 300-450 lbs were mostly steady with a good supply,
while the 500-600 lbs heifers were 6.00 to 8.00 higher with a good supply and
strong demand. Slaughter cows were 4.00 to 8.00 higher with a good supply and
slaughter bulls were 4.00 to 6.00 higher with strong demand.
