As filed

No comparison this week due to weather condition and no sale last week, but slaughter steers were trending higher with slaughter heifers steady and a good number of higher quality steers and heifers. Cows and bulls were trending lower, but good value on high dressing cows and bulls. All classes of feeder calves were trending higher this week.
