As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers below 650 lbs. were 3.00 to 7.00 higher and steers above 650 lbs. were 2.00 to 3.00 higher except 700 to 750 lbs. were 3.00 lower. Feeder heifers were 2.00 to 6.00 higher except 700 to 750 lbs. were 2.00 lower. Very good demand for today's offering with more new buyers in attendance. Feeders were moderately fleshed. Today had a few quality strings of replacement heifers in the offering.
