As filed

Compared to the last auction two weeks ago, a very light offering of feeders were lightly tested with a light test of 600-650 lb steers and 450-650 lb heifers selling with a higher undertone all other weights were not tested. Slaughter steers and heifers traded steady to firm with slaughter cows selling 3.00-8.00 higher on a good quality offering.
