As filed

Compared to last week; feeder heifers sold 5.00 to 10.00 lower. No test on yearling steers this week. A light run of bawling calves with some groups of loads selling higher than last week. All steers and heifers under 600lbs were calves right off the cow. Most of the offering of bawling calves had just had spring shots. Sale again next Wednesday.
