As filed

Compared to last week, the feeder steers sold unevenly steady, and the feeder heifers sold with a slightly higher undertone, based on very limited comparisons. All the feeders were sold in small groups and singles on Thursday with only one package of feeders over 10 head. The supply was light with moderate demand. Slaughter cattle sold steady to 4.00 higher, based on limited comparisons as well.
