As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 750-850 lbs sold 2.00 to 3.00 higher. Feeder heifers limited comparable weights, higher undertone noted. Calves limited comparable weights, higher undertone noted on weaned calves. Best demand for long weaned calves with a vaccination program. Demand good to very good, quality average to attractive. Slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 3.00 higher, not enough bulls from last week for accurate market test.
