As filed

Compared to last week's auction feeders sold unevenly steady from 5.00 lower to 5.00 higher. The supply was moderate with less yearlings and more new crop calves coming to market. Last week's feeder offering was primarily made up of steers while this week was more even but did consist of more females than males. Eight full pot loads made up a large portion of the feeder supply. Slaughter cows and bulls trading steady to 5.00 higher.
