As filed

Compared to last week; Feeder steers 900-950lbs steady to 1.00 lower. All other weights not well tested for comparison. Feeder heifers - No weights well tested for comparison. Flesh condition light to moderate plus. Good buyer demand for yearlings right off grass. Most calves sold were unweaned so many weights bringing the bottom end of the price range.
