As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 550 lbs mostly 2.00-8.00 lower with a light or no test in some classes. Feeder heifers 2.00-10.00 lower .Had some fleshy calves that sold at a discount and some groups of thin calves that brought a premium. No trend on cows and bulls not reported last week. Light run due to heavy rain in the area yesterday and muddy conditions.
