As filed

Compared to last week: Limited comparable weights available, feeder steers 750-900 lbs sold steady to firm. Heifers sold mostly 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Calves too lightly tested for an accurate market trend, steer calves lower undertone noted, heifer calves higher undertone noted. Demand good, quality average to some attractive. Slaughter cows sold 6.00 to 8.00 higher, with most receipts being bigger cows carrying good flesh. Bulls higher undertone noted.
