As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold mostly 5.00 to 10.00 lower and feeder heifers had little to compare to but sold with lower undertones. Supply was moderate and demand was moderate to light with another week of many unweaned and short weaned calves and average or below quality for most of the offering. Feeder cattle futures have taken a downward turn for the past couple days which led to some hesitation from buyers ringside today.
