As filed

Compared to last week; feeder steers and heifers traded sharply lower. A light run on steers again this week with only a few load lots and most of the run of heifers were preg checked open out of replacements . With the futures falling most of the week it was light crowd on hand. Steer and heifer calves also selling sharply lower than last week with moderate bidding on all weights. All weights under 550 lbs were bawling calves. Sale again next Week.
