* Final Report *

Compared to 2 weeks ago, feeder steers 800 lb to 975 lb sold 3.00 to 6.00 higher on light receipts. No recent comparison on heifers 700 lb to 975 lb, however a higher trend was noted. Not enough steer or heifer calves for a market test. Demand was good. Slaughter cows sold 4.00 to 5.00 lower. Slaughter bulls sold steady. One high yielding bull sold for 120.
