As filed

Compared to last week; Feeder steers 650-700lbs 14.00 to 16.00 higher. No other weights well test for comparison but most other weights showing a downward trend. Feeder heifers - No weights well tested for comparison but 600lbs and higher showing an upward trend. Several strings of yearlings right off grass in today's offering. Good buyer demand. Flesh condition light to moderate.
