As filed

Based on limited comparisons with last week, feeder steers under 450 lbs 3.00-6.00 higher, 450-550 lbs steady to 5.00 lower. Weights over 550 lbs sold with a higher undertone but with no comparisons available. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs steady to 3.00 higher. Heifers over 600 lbs sold with a higher undertone. Slaughter cows 1.00-3.00 higher. Demand good to very good but uneven late in spots. Supply moderate. Several good quality heifers near 625 lbs saw prices higher than we've seen in quite some time while lighter heifers sold in a bigger price spread as some orders filled.
