As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers steady to 3.00 higher. Demand good for feeder cattle. Steer calves steady to 4.00 higher. Heifer calves 2.00-3.00 lower. Several un-weaned calves available and these sold to moderate to good demand. Some heavier weight cattle that are marked un-weaned were 30 days weaned. Quality average, few attractive. Weather has finally cooled off and rain fell in some parts of the state with more expected for the weekend and early next week.
