As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers and heifers under 550 lbs steady to 2.00 higher, over 550 lbs steady to 2.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady. Demand good. Supply moderate. Less numbers and quality than last weeks feeder offering. Special cow sale followed the feeders with several nice bred cows and pairs in the mix.
