As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers both sold 10.00 to 20.00 lower compared to last weeks light test. There was a larger offering of feeders today but with quality lower and several new crop un-weaned feeders along with a un-steady CME futures market kept the feeders lower. Slaughter bulls were 1.00 to 3.00 higher and slaughter cows were steady to 3.00 higher. Supply was good and demand was moderade to low on feeders and good on slaughter cattle.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
