As filed

Due to a light test last week there is no comparison but, slaughter steers and heifers were trending sharply higher with a good offering of steers and heifer and better packer inquiry this week. Cows were 3.00 to 5.00 higher with bulls significantly higher today. All classes of feeder calves were trending higher with some nice groups of steers and heifers this week.
