As filed

Compared to last Tuesday: Feeder steers 600 lbs and under were 3.00 to 8.00 higher with the most gains in weaned and pre-conditioned animals. Feeder heifers were mixed with heifers under 500 lbs sharply lower, while 500- 700 lbs heifers were 2.00 to 8.00 higher with a good supply. Good quality bull calves were 8.00 to 10.00 higher through most of the weight classes, however heavy discounts were seen for color, condition, and muscling. Slaughter cows were mostly steady to 2.00 higher for the leans, and slaughter bulls were 3.00 lower.
