As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers traded 4.00-7.00 higher. 83 head of reputation Hereford steers weighing 601 lbs. traded at 175.50. Feeder heifers traded 5.00-8.00 higher. Slaughter cows traded 3.00-6.00 higher. Not enough replacement cattle for a market comparison. Supply heavy with good demand.
