Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 600 lbs mixed with the better kind mostly steady to 16.00 higher and the plainer kind 3.00-6.00 lower not enough over 600 lbs last week for a trend. The better 300-350 lb heifers 28.00 higher 350-400 lbs 10.00 lower 400-600 lbs and the plainer kind 1.00-7.00 higher not enough over 600 lbs last week for a trend. Supply was heavy with several good quality groups of calves. Demand was good on the better quality calves. Cows and bulls not reported due to time limits.
