As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 600 lbs sold mostly 3.00 to 12.00 higher with an instance of 29.00 higher. Steers over 600 lbs sold 4.00 to 7.50 lower on limited comparisons. Feeder heifers did not have enough comparisons from last week for an accurate market trend. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 10.00 lower. The next available report will occur as receipts warrant.
