As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers 400 to 500 lbs. were 18.00 to 19.00 higher, 500 to 600 lbs. were 10.00 higher and 600 to 700 lbs. were 9.00 to 11.00 higher this week. Feeder heifers 450 to 600 lbs. were 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Many nice strings of calves in todays offering. The black calves are still bringing a premium over the colored calves. More buyers in attendance today and they pushed the market to get the feeders they needed. Most feeders were in light to moderate flesh condition. Expecting a large sale next Wednesday as some consigned for todays sale decided to wait for the next Wednesday sale to bring their calves in.
