As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold 10.00 to 15.00 higher with some instances of quality value added steers as much as 20.00 to 25.00 higher. Feeder heifers sold much the same mostly 10.00 to 15.00 higher with some ranges as much as 20.00 higher. No comparison on slaughter cows and bulls this week they were not viewed last week due to the winter weather, however good demand was noted.. Supply was good and demand was strong especially on weaned and value added cattle with good buyer attendence.

Slaughter cattle
