As filed

Compared to last Saturday the feeder market was mixed with a good quality offering. Feeder steers 350 lbs and under appeared lower with a lite test, while the 400-600 lbs steers were steady to 3.00 lower with a good supply and good demand for long weaned and harder conditioned calves. Feeder heifers 300-600 lbs were unevenly steady ranging from 3.00 higher to 3.00 lower in spots with a good supply and good demand. Yearling steers and heifers 650 lbs and over were 6.00 to 8.00 higher or greater in spots with a good supply and strong demand. Slaughter cows were steady with a good supply and slaughter bulls were 1.00 to 3.00 higher with good demand.
