As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold 3.00-5.00 higher and the bull calves were 8.00-10.00 higher. Feeder heifers traded unevenly steady with some of the better quality groups selling 6.00-8.00 higher. A good quality offering saw strong demand from the feeder buyers. Slaughter cows sold steady and slaughter bulls were 2.00-4.00 lower on a light test.
