As filed

Compared to last week most weights of steers and heifers were higher this week. Feeder steers 700 to 750 lbs. were 2.00 higher. This is the only weight for a comparison of steers and heifers this week. Offering consisted of mostly small packages of steers and heifers today. Buyers still aggressive in bidding for what was offered today as long as they were weaned. Feeders coming right off the cow trended lower this week. Most feeders were in light to moderate flesh condition and carrying lots of tag.
