As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers sold mixed to steady with some offerings of quality feeders trending higher. Feeder heifers sold un-even to 10.00 higher. There were not enough comparable feeders this week to compare to last weeks pre-vac sale so a good trend could not be established. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady to 5.00 lower.

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