As filed

Compared to two weeks ago on comparable offerings of feeder steers sold 6.00 to 10.00 higher and feeder heifers sold 3.00 to 6.00 higher. No recent test on bawling calves for a market comparison. Demand was good from start to finish from large crowd of buyers. Bulk of the offering came off of grass with some back grounded feeders in the run. Most of the bawling calves had precondition shots.
