As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers under 550 lbs steady to 3.00 lower, 550-650 lbs 2.00-4.00 higher and 650-750 lbs 6.00-10.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 650 lbs steady with a few offerings over 650 lbs selling with a higher undertone. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Demand good to very good. Supply heavy.. Another strong feeder offering drew lots of buyer interest again this week with the best demand seen on several consignments of high quality 600-700 lb steers with the genetics to make some heavy out weights.
