As filed

Compared to last week, the feeder steers sold mostly 10.00 to 20.00 lower. The feeder heifers sold with a sharply lower undertone, based on limited comparisons. There were good, conditioned cattle in town this week for their special yearling sale. However, the market has been under some pressure the past few days, and the buyers seemed to react accordingly. The demand was good on a heavy supply.
