As filed

There was a very limited comparison of feeders with the last sale 4 weeks ago, a very nice offering of good quality steer calves weighing 450-650 lbs sold with a sharply higher undertone, the best comparison was on 650-700 lb steers selling 3.00-8.00 higher, with 7 weights not well tested and 4 pot loads of top quality blk yearling steers selling with good demand. Feeder heifers weighing under 600 lbs sold with a higher undertone on few comparisons. Demand was good with supply moderate. Bulk of the feeders weighed 450-700 lbs mostly steers and sold on and active market. Slaughter cows traded with a firm undertone.
