As filed

Compared to last week: All classes lightly tested. Feeder steers sold 4.00-10.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 6.00 higher. Demand good for feeders. Steer calves not well tested but a higher undertone noted. Heifer calves mostly steady. Demand moderate to good for calves. Though numbers were limited, supply still included some nice strings of feeder cattle.
