As filed

Compared to last week, on a lighter test, feeder steers and heifers remaining mostly steady overall with feeder bulls 2.00 higher. Slaughter cows gauging 1.00 to 4.00 higher with no comparisons available for slaughter bulls due to limited comparable receipts, however, a higher undertone was noted.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
