As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Feeder heifers 700-800 lbs sold unevenly steady, 800-850 lbs sold 5.00 to 6.00 higher. Using limited comparable weights, steer calves 550-600 lbs sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher, heifer calves lower undertone noted. Best demand for long weaned calves with a vaccination program. Demand good to very good, quality average to mostly attractive. Slaughter cows sold unevenly steady, not enough bulls for a market test.
