As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers under 700lbs traded mostly steady to 3.00 higher and yearling steers over 700lbs traded steady to 2.00 lower. Heifer calves traded steady to firm and feeder heifers over 550lbs traded mostly 4.00 to 6.00 higher. Many larger drafts of long time weaned and vaccinated cattle were included in the offering and created good demand on a heavy supply of feeders this week.
