As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Due to short sale, feeder heifers not enough comparable weights for accurate market trend. Feeder steers 800-1000 lbs sold 7.00 to 10.00 higher using limited comparable weights. Not enough calves for a market trend. Overall, demand good, quality average. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady to firm.
