As filed

Compared to last week, a very light offering of feeders this week with a light test on most weights with 4 weight steers trading with a higher undertone, 500-600 lbs sold mostly steady, with 600-650 lbs on a light test selling 3.00-5.00 higher, and 800-825 lb steers trading with a firm undertone. Feeder heifers weighing 500-600 lbs sold steady with weights over 600 lbs selling with a higher undertone. Slaughter cows on a light offering sold steady to firm. Demand was good on a light test with several part loads of low 8 weight steers selling with good demand as did the 4 weight steers and 550-650 lb steers.
