As filed

Compared to last sale, Feeder steers and heifers sold mostly 10.00-20.00 lower. Feeder Holstein steers sold mostly steady on a very light test. Feeder bulls sold 20.00 -30.00 lower. Overall quality not as good as previous sale. Quality appears to be becoming more important as feeders continue to pay higher prices for the better cattle offered. Demand good. Buyer attendance moderate.
