As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers under 600 lbs. sold 6.00-8.00 higher and those over 600 lbs. were steady. Feeder heifers and bull calves traded sharply higher. A very good quality feeder calf offering today saw strong demand from the buyers. Slaughter cows sold 8.00-10.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 5.00-7.00 higher
