As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers sold sharply higher on good quality calves and yearlings, while feeder heifers sold 3.00 to 20.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold 1.00 to 10.00 higher. There was not enough bulls to set an accurate trend for slaughter bulls , but a higher under tone was noticed. Trade was very active with good demand across all classes of livestock with active buyer participation, with a light to moderate supply.
