As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers were unevenly steady with instances of 2.00-3.00 higher to 2.00-3.00 lower. Feeder heifers were mostly steady to 5.00 higher, with the majority of that advance seen on heifers weighing 550-650 lbs. The heavier offerings of feeder cattle were in mostly good demand this week, with weaned and backgrounded groups in very good demand. Slaughter cows were mostly steady on a limited test due to light receipts last week and heavier offerings this week. Slaughter bulls were mostly steady. Good demand noted for slaughter classes.

Today's offerings included the following loads:

56 hd black steers, avg 907 lbs, 171.50

55 hd black and BWF steers, avg 887 lbs, 172.00
