As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady. Feeder heifers under 400 lbs. 10.00-15.00 lower; over 400 lbs. 2.00-5.00 lower. Slaughter cows 2.00-4.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 1.00-3.00 higher. Had a attractive set of value added cattle; rest of the offering was average. Buyer participation was active on attractive cattle; plainer cattle not as desired. Market was good considering grain prices have been on a steady incline along with softer feeder cattle futures.
