As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers sold 1.00-3.00 higher, with feeder heifers 2.00-4.00 higher. Slaughter cow’s steady, slaughter bulls steady. There was good demand for all classes of feeder and slaughter cattle, with moderate offerings and good buyer activity this week. Buyers showed good interest in heifer cattle and cattle with favorable condition as wet weather continue throughout the region.
