As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold steady to 2.00 higher and the feeder heifers traded sharply higher. Bull calves under 500 lbs. were also sharply higher with those over 500 lbs. selling steady. A good quality feeder offering saw strong demand from the buyers. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 5.00-7.00 lower.

Slaughter cattle
