As filed

Compared to last weeks sale , didn't have very many number 1 steers most number 1s were bulls . However some steer classes under 400# sold 1.00-20.00 lower ; steers over 400# sold steady to 15.00 higher; feeder heifers sold mixed just depending on buyers orders ; feeder calf groups were reported as #1-2s and groups with shots and weaned had added value; slaughter cows sold 3.00-8.00 lower; slaughter bulls sold 3.00-7.00 lower
