As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers under 600 lbs. sold 6.00-8.00 lower and those over 600 lbs. were 5.00-6.00 higher. Feeder heifers traded 6.00-8.00 higher with instances of some being sharply higher. Today's offering varied widely in quality and didn't contain the large groups that was in last weeks sale but the demand was still good overall. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady.
