As filed

Compared to last sale: Demand mostly good for moderate offerings. Market activity was active with good buyer participation and rapid bidding noticed. Dairy feeder steers under 500 lbs traded sharply higher with most sales 15.00-30.00 higher, dairy steers over 500 lbs were too lightly tested either this week or last sale to develop an accurate market trend, steady to firm undertones were noticed.
