As filed

Good day, as compared to the last market feeder calves were steady and some heifers could be better. The market sure was not any lower. Slaughter cows 2-3 higher and bulls steady. Had some of the fanciest baldie open heifers I have seen there today, they were the cream on the top brought $1800-2100.00 a piece weighing 700 lbs. Also some figures for you slaughter bull 2550lbs. @ $1.57 = $4003.50 and 2150 lb. bull @ $1.65= 3547.50, pretty dang good.
