As filed

Compared to two weeks ago steers sold steady to 5.00 higher, and heifers sold steady to 2.00 higher on limited comparisons. The supply of feeders was heavy as FRS held a special customer appreciation pre-vac sale in conjunction with the normal weekly auction. Just over half the feeders offered were part of a FRS health program or one of several others and were weaned with one or two rounds of shots. Demand was good and as usual feeders that were long weaned with two rounds gathered the most attention. The barn was near standing room only with trucks and trailers lined out the parking long and down the road well into the auction, attendance remained very good long after the free lunch was over and in to the late hours of the night prices held well though out the auction with some of the highs being found well after dark. There was near 200 head of slaughter cows however due to the heavy supply of feeders that market was not reported this week.
