As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers 7.00-15.00 higher instances 20.00 higher. Feeder heifers 2.00-12.00 higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls steady. Quality was average. All classes of feeder calves were higher. Buyers were active on most classes. Recent rains and a higher future market has given the calve deal a boost. Next Thursday will be the 3rd Thursday stock cow sale. Expecting many quality cows and pairs.
