As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers traded mixed with 650 to 700 lbs. 5.00 higher. Steers above 700 lbs. were 3.00 lower with instances of 8.00 lower. Feeder heifers traded 3.00 to 5.00 lower. Demand was very good with the lighter weight feeders showing higher bidding by buyers. A few small lots of replacement heifers in today's offering. Expecting more replacement heifers in the next two weeks.
