As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers 2.00-4.00 higher with light comparable sales. Steer and heifer calves not well tested last week to compare trends this week, however a higher undertone is noted. Demand very good for all classes. Slaughter cows and bulls not reported this week.
