As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers under 600 lbs sold steady to 2.00 higher and steers over 600 had little comparison. Feeder heifers traded with a steady undertone compared to the light test last week. Supply of feeders was moderate to heavy and demand was moderate. Supply of replacements and slaughter cattle was also moderate to heavy and demand moderate. A complete dispersal brought in some high quality pairs and bred cows tonight that created good demand.
