As filed

Compared to last sale: In a light comparison; Feeder steers over 500 lbs 10.00-12.00 higher. Feeder heifers 2.00-8.00 lower on lesser quality. Steer calves 10.00-20.00 higher conservatively. Heifer calves steady to 10.00 lower. Buyers guardedly aware of the futures boards, cattle genetics and vaccinations. Mid-sale a rainstorm moved in bringing up to an inch of precipitation to the barn and slowing movement of cattle through the ring.
