As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Feeder heifers 4.00 to 5.00 higher. Steer and heifer calves not enough comparable cattle for a market trend. Quality fair to attractive. Demand good for the thin, long weaned calves, very little demand for short weaned, fleshy calves. Slaughter cows and bulls steady to 1.00 lower. A total of 171 cows and bulls sold with 84 percent going to packers.
