As filed

Compared to the last reported sale two weeks ago feeder steers were overall higher but not in enough numbers for a good comparison. Feeder heifers also trended higher this week . The only weight with numbers for a comparison were 650 to 700 lbs. at 10.00 higher. One consignor brought in 700 heifers in weights of 600 to 800 lbs. which sold in load lots. Most feeders were in moderate flesh condition. Very good demand for today's offering.
