As filed

Compared to last week the only weights comparable were the 600 to 650 lbs. steers that were steady from last week. Most weights of steers and heifers trended steady to higher this week. A Storm went through the state yesterday causing less feeders to come to market today so most weights did not have numbers for a comparison. Buyer demand was still good for the feeders offered today. Most feeders were in light to moderate flesh condition. The lighter weights to go to pasture this summer brought the most aggressive bidding today. Expecting a larger sale next week.
