As filed

Compared to last week; Most weights not well tested for comparison in feeder steers except 550-600lbs 11.00 to 12.00 higher and 650-700lbs 4.00 to 7.00 higher. No weights well tested in feeder heifers but showing an upward trend. Good buyer demand for light weight calves. Flesh condition light to moderate.
