Compared to last week: Steers calves under 500 lbs sold mostly 5.00-10.00 
higher in a narrow comparison. Steers 550-649 lbs steer sold generally steady. 
All other steer weights were too lightly tested to develop an accurate market 
trend, however lower undertones were noticed. Heifer calves were all too 
lightly tested either this week or last week to develop an accurate market 
trend, however unevenly steady undertones were noticed. Demand was light to 
moderate for mostly light offerings. Quality this week was mostly plain to 
average and hampered demand. Many cutback calves off summer video sales were 
seen. Most calves were offered in very small packages and buyers showed mostly 
light demand as they pieced together loads. Most attractive heifers over 550 
lbs were purchased by replacement buyers this sale. The best demand was seen 
for cattle suitable to develop into yearlings. Many short weaned offerings were 
very full and buyers showed light demand for both fill and health concerns. 
Market activity was slow to moderate with a small crowd on hand. Weigh up cows 
sold on moderate demand for light offerings. Feeding cows sold 2.00-5.00 lower 
in a narrow comparison. Slaughter cows and bulls were too lightly tested to 
develop an accurate market trend, however lower to sharply lower undertones 
were noticed. Young age cows suitable to feed or rebreed sold on mostly light 
to moderate demand. Quality this week was mixed from plain to attractive. Young 
age cows were too lightly tested to develop an accurate market trend, however 
lower undertones were noticed.
