As filed

Compared to last week there only a couple hundred yearlings in todays offering. In comparing feeder steers from last week the 500 to 550 lbs. were 4.00 lower and the 550 to 600 lbs. were 11.00 higher. Feeder heifers 450 to 500 lbs. were 5.00 higher and 500 to 600 lbs. were steady to 6.00 higher this week. Good demand for todays offering of light weight steers and heifers. Most feeders were in light to medium flesh condition. A few load lots of spring calves in todays offering. Buyers still paying a premium for calves with two series of shots. Larger numbers of spring calves expected next week.
