As filed

Compared to the last special three weeks ago, feeder steers weighing 450-750 lbs sold steady to firm, with 750-850 lbs selling with a higher undertone on few comparable sales. Feeder heifers weighing 450-750 lbs sold steady with the exception of 550-650 lb heifers selling steady to 5.00 lower with overall quality and condition not as attractive as last special. Demand was moderate to good with supply heavy. A nice offering of good quality feeders especially steers weighing 450-850 lbs all sold on and active market. Slaughter cows traded steady to firm with last week's market.
