As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold sharply higher. Feeder heifers traded fully steady. The first fair weather in a few weeks allowed some buyers to be in the fields, but those that were present showed strong demand for a good quality offering. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady.
