As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers not enough comparable weights for an accurate market test, lower undertone noted. Feeder heifers 650-800 lbs sold 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Too early to establish calf market. Overall, demand good to very good, quality average to attractive. Slaughter cows sold 1.00 to 2.00 higher. Bulls sold steady to 2.00 higher using a limited test.
