As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, on a special feeder and yearling sale; feeder steers 400-595 lbs mostly steady with 1.00-2.00 higher, instances 6.00-8.00, feeder heifers 350-550 lbs mostly steady with instances 2.00-5.00 higher. Others traded steady with lower undertones noted. Not enough yearlings for a good market test. Demand moderate to good.
