As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 450 pounds were 2.00- 5.00 lower due to new crop calves starting to show up. Feeder steers over 500 pounds were 5.00- 10.00 higher. Feeder heifers sold 5.00- 10.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold 2.00- 5.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold 1.00- 3.00 higher. Demand was strong for all classes with weaned calves topping the market. Quality was more attractive.
