As filed

A lighter offering of feeder cattle today, in part due to the special calf sales the last few weeks. Compared to last week steers 500 to 600 and 700 to 800 lbs sold 3.00 to 5.00 lower and 800 lb steers sold 8.00 lower. 600 to 700 lb steers sold 1.00 to 4.00 higher and 850 to 950 lb steers sold steady to 1.00 higher. Heifers 600 to 700 lbs sold 1.00 higher and 550 to 600 lb heifers sold 6.00 higher. Heifers over 700 lbs sold 1.00 to 3.00 lower. The offering was light to moderate today, again in part due to the special calf sale last week.
