As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers over 800 lbs sold 2.00 to 3.00 higher. No recent price comparison on steers under 800 lbs, however a higher undertone is noted. 750-800 lb feeder heifers sold 5.00 to 6.00 higher. All other weights of heifers sold on a sharply higher market on limited numbers. Steer and heifer calves were not well tested today. Slaughter cows sold 1.00 lower. Slaughter bulls not well tested.
