As filed

Compared to last weeks sale, feeder steers and heifers sold mostly 5.00 to 10.00 higher with a few exceptions in the lighter weight classes under 500 lbs were selling up to 20.00 higher on the fancier go to grass type calves. Yearling steers and heifers had a light test to obtain a trend but the ones that did cross the scales were selling steady compared to last weeks bigger supply. Overall even with a light supply, today's market was very active with good demand in all classes.
