As filed

Compared to last week the only measurable steers were the 600 to 650 lbs. at 7.00 lower. Feeder heifers 600 to 650 lbs. were 7.00 higher and 650 to 700 lbs. were 5.00 higher. Other weights of steers and heifers did not have the numbers for a comparison. Todays offering consisted of several load lots of steers and heifers along with smaller drafts. Buyer demand was moderate to good for the offering . Most feeders were in moderate to light flesh condition. Feeders were coming out of muddy conditions and this reflected on the quality and eye appeal this week.
