As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers under 700 lbs traded steady to 3.00 higher, with weights over 700 lbs near steady on a very limited test. Feeder heifers mostly steady except for two loads of yearlings over 800 lbs 5.00 higher. A good mix of both calves and yearlings in the offering with more calves at today's auction than last week, including several reputation strings. Quality was attractive, but many of the calves carrying more flesh than most buyers desire. Demand moderate to good and supply moderate.
