Receipts: 1980; Last Week: 2436; Year Ago: 1786

   Compared to last week, the better quality weaned steer calves weighing 400-525 lbs and 650-700 lbs along with the 400-450 lb heifer calves sold mostly steady on a light test, as overall quality was not as attractive as last week’s special. There were a lot of calves weighing 550-650 lbs unweaned, short-weaned and fleshy selling in small and odd lots and packages trading with only moderate demand. A nice offering of yearlings sold in pot load lots trading with a firm undertone. Slaughter cows traded firm to $2 higher. Slaughter cows accounted for near 15 percent of the total receipts. The feeder supply was 63 percent steers, 35 percent heifers and near 60 percent weighing over 600 lbs.
