As filed

Compared to the last auction two weeks ago, steers sold uneven from 2.00 lower to 2.00 higher, heifers sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher with some higher quality groups of replacement type heifers 500-650 lbs. sharply higher. The supply of feeders was moderate with some larger consignments of quality cattle on hand as well as several odds and ends as farmers finished their marketing for this calendar year. Demand was moderate to good especially on the bunches of quality heifers that ended up going home to build herds as replacements. Slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 4.00 lower.
