As filed

Compared to last week, steers and heifers sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Big turn around this week for the local feeder market thanks to improved quality and buyer attendance as well as larger drafts of cattle to work with throughout the day. Supply heavy, demand good.
