As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Sale closed last week due to weather. Feeder steers mostly 6.00-8.00 higher except the 400-500 lbs 4.00-5.00 lower than light test two weeks ago. Feeder heifers 1.00-10.00 higher mostly 2.00-5.00 higher. Not enough slaughter cows and bulls reported for a trend due to time.
