As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers not enough comparable weights for an accurate market test. Feeder heifers 750-800 lbs sold 1.00 to 2.00 higher using a limited test. Calves lower undertone noted, best demand for long weaned calves with a vaccination program. Overall, demand good to very good, quality mostly average. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady using a limited test, not enough bulls for accurate market trend.
