* Final Report *

Compared to last week, feeder steers 575 lb to 975 lb sold 5.00 to 12.00 higher, however load lots and fancy steers sold up to 20 higher. Not enough feeder heifers 575 lb to 975 lb for a market test, however a steady to higher trend was noted. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 2.00 lower. Demand was good.
