As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers under 750 lbs. were steady to 4.00 higher and steers above 800 lbs. were 7.00 to 8.00 lower. Feeder heifers 500 to 600 lbs. were 3.00 to 4.00 higher and heifers 600 to 700 lbs. were 2.00 to 5..00 lower. There was very good demand for todays large offering especially the load lots of steers and heifers. Buyers were active today with more in attendance this week. Flesh conditions varied but mostly moderate plus overall.
