As filed

Compared to last week, steers under 600 lbs sold steady, over 600 lbs 5.00-15.00 higher. Heifer sold 5.00-15.00 higher with spots 20.00 higher. Demand was good to very good for a moderate to heavy supply with several reputation strings on hand. The cash feeder market continues to impress with plentiful, cheap feed and tight numbers of cattle.
