As filed

No comparison is available from last week but compared to two weeks ago feeder steers over 450 lbs were 2.00 to 10.00 higher with a few offerings of 750 lb steers topping 14.00 higher. Steers under 450 lbs were not well tested. Feeder heifers on the other hand had less demand and traded 10.00 to 15.00 lower on calves under 500 lbs. Hefiers over 500 were 1.00 to 3.00 lower. Fleshly and unweaned cattled were dicounted by the buyers. Supply was good on all ranges. Slaughter cows and bulls both traded 2.00 to6.00 higher.
