As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers limited comparable weights, higher undertone noted. Reputation consignments of thin fleshed steers weighing 800-900 lbs offered today, sold 1.00 to 2.00 higher. Feeder heifers limited offerings, 750-859 lbs sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher. Calves not enough comparable weights for a market trend, 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 steady to 3.00 lower, not enough bulls for a market test.
