As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 600 lbs mostly steady, over 600 lbs 2.00 to 5.00 lower as flesh condition was much heavier on these weights this week. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs steady to 2.00 higher, instances to 4.00 higher on 450-500 lbs, over 600 lbs 2.00 lower. Moderate to good demand for this offering of mostly weaned steers and heifers, there were some calves right off the cow however. Flesh condition was much heavier than last week, with fewer consignments of light fleshed cattle. The market was not as active overall as there were a few less buyers this week and the heavier flesh condition had buyers on the defensive.
