As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers and heifers under 600 lbs steady, over 600 lbs steady to 5.00 higher with the most advance on the yearling heifers. The calf market held pretty stable with last weeks prices, but the yearling market was more active with a greater percentage of the offering yearlings. Demand good and supply light.
