As filed

Compared to last week; feeder steers and heifers traded 5.00 to 9.00 lower with instances 13.00 lower on comparable trades. A lighter offering this week with a few load lots but mainly package trade. Moderate bidding throughout the day with a lighter crowd on hand not as many bidders on the internet. Sale again next Wednesday.
