As filed

Compared to the last reported sale two weeks ago feeder steers were all too lightly tested to develop a full market trend, unevenly steady undertones were noticed. Heifers 550-699 lbs offered the best comparison this sale most offerings sold steady to 5.00 higher. All other heifer weights were too narrowly compared to develop a full market trend, higher undertones were noticed. Demand was mostly moderate to good for moderate offerings. Market activity was mostly active with a good crowd on hand for todays sale.
