As filed

Compared to last week: Trade activity and demand moderate. Feeder steers under 550 lbs sold 6.00 to 12.00 higher, 550-650 lbs 2.00 higher, and steers over 650 lbs too thinly tested to trend. Feeder heifers across all weight classes were thinly tested, trading mostly 4.00 to 7.00 higher on comparable trades. The next available report will be Friday, October 28, 2022.
