As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers limited comparable weights, higher undertone noted. Feeder heifers 650-750 lbs sold 3.00 to 4.00 lower, lower undertone noted on other comparable weights. Majority of consignments were green cattle off of grass. Calves not enough comparable weights for a market test, higher undertone noted, with best demand for weaned calves with a vaccination program. Overall, demand good, quality average to attractive. Slaughter cows and bulls limited offerings, no test available.
