As filed

Compared to last week: Stocker steers under 450 lbs 7.00-12.00 lower over 450 lbs 1.00-5.00 lower except the better 500-550 lbs 1.00 higher. Stocker heifers mostly steady to 5.00 lower. Quality and condition not as good as last week. No trend on cows and bulls not reported last week with only a few reported this week due to time limits.
