As filed

Compared to last sale: Feeder steer over 600 lbs 5.00-10.00 lower conservatively. Feeder heifers over 600 lbs 7.00-9.00 lower. In a light comparison steer and heifer calves mostly steady with a slightly lower undertone noted. Demand good. Quality today ranged from plain to fancy with several large drafts of replacement heifers. Buyers were cautious today with the CME feeder futures boards dipping steadily Monday and closing 6.00 lower Tuesday.
