As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold mostly steady to 10.00 higher. Feeder heifers sold 2.00 - 6.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 higher. Slaughter bulls not well tested due to limited comparable offerings. Cattle today was fair to average with some attractive offerings. In addition, there was a couple herd sale outs with some young replacements that were in high demand and brought premium prices.
