As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold sharply higher. Feeder heifers traded 5.00-7.00 higher. Today's offering didn't contained as many weaned packages of feeders but the overall quality was very good and the buyers continued showing strong demand. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady and slaughter bulls sold steady to 2.00 higher with extremely good prices for the highest dressing individuals.
