As filed

Compared to last sale: Feeder steers 15.00 higher. Feeder heifers in a light test 5.00-15.00 higher. Due to low receipt totals last week, steer and heifer calves too light to test, but higher undertone noted. Demand Strong. Quality attractive with several fancy drafts. Buyers were each locked in on their tickets and battled for the cattle they needed for each weight class. CME Feeder Futures Board closed 3.30 higher today.
