As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 750 lbs steady to 5.00 lower, 750 lbs - 950 lbs steady to 2.00 higher, over 950 lbs 1.00 to 4.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 700 lbs steady to 4.00 higher with instances of 14.00 higher, over 700 lbs steady to 4.00 lower. Demand for this eye appealing offering of feeder cattle was good. Several farmer buyers in the stands today. Cattle grass fed with light flesh were in highest demand. Rounds of shots given along with the amount of time cattle had been weaned were also big factors that affected how active the buyers bid. Light weight heifers were very actively pursued today. Several lots of cattle were hauled in Saturday and Sunday. Slaughter cows steady. Bulls steadyish.
