As filed

No trends due to scheduling conflicts and market wasn't reported the last 2 week's. Feeder calves and yrlgs, price levels very dependent on quality. Light weight bawling calves very spotty, those reputation and with info behind them sold quite well while those with no info more reasonable. Mid weight good quality feeders very high and heavy yearlings had a a higher undertone. Slaughter cows and bulls had a higher undertone. Trade very active with good demand for large offerings.
