As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold mostly 5.00 to 15.00 higher, feeder heifers were 5.00 to 15.00 higher. A larger offering of value added and weaned cattle helped move the market up this week. Plain, unweaned and fleshy type cattle were discounted heavily by buyers. Limited offerings of comparable cattle to last week should be noted. Slaughter cows and bulls were not viewed.
