As filed

Due to the light run of calves there is no comparison for cattle under 700 lbs. Compared to last week feeder steers 750 to 950 lbs sold 1.00 to 3.00 lower and heavy feeders 950 to 1000 lb sold 1.00 higher. 200 head of 1000 lb steers sold for 232.00 to 234.00 they were blacks off grass. There were not enough heifers for a test, but a lower undertone was noted. The receipts were moderate and the demand was light to moderate.
