As filed

Compared to last sale two weeks ago; Steer calves sold lower while feeder steers had no comparable sales but a steady trend was evident. Heifer calves sold higher except 450-500 lbs being 10.00-12.00 lower. Feeder heifers sold lower. Trade and demand were moderately strong on larger numbers on an uneven market. Slaughter cows sold 5.00 higher and slaughter bulls were steady to 3.00 lower. Several light weight cows and bulls went back to feed. Excellent buyer attendance.
