As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold steady to 2.00 higher, with instances of 3.00 to 4.00 higher on thinner cattle. Feeder heifers higher undertone noted on comparable weights, limited receipts from last week. A few consignments of weaned and vaccinated calves offered today, no comparable weights for a market test. Demand good to very good, quality average to attractive. Slaughter cows sold steady to 1.00 lower using a limited test. Not enough bulls for a market test.
