As filed

Friday's auction had a light offering of feeder cattle selling mostly in small packages and singles and trading steady and within the price ranges on similar weights and quality as last week. Slaughter steers and heifers on a light but very good quality offering sold with a higher undertone with slaughter cows trading stready.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
