* Final Report *

Compared to 2 weeks ago, feeder steers 650 lb to 900 lb sold 5.00 to 15.00 higher. Feeder heifers 600 lb to 950 lb sold 10.00 to 15.00 higher, in places 20.00 higher. Not enough calves under 600 lb for a market test, however a higher trend was noted. Demand was good. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady.
