As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers mostly steady except 6 and 8 weights steers sharply higher with improved quality. Steer and heifer calves lightly tested but a lower undertone was noted except 5 weight heifer sharply higher. Demand good. Quality average to very attractive. All calves under 600lbs denoted with the description fancy were unweaned and most came off one ranch. Much needed rain is finally in the forecast for this weekend and next week.
