As filed

Compared to last sale: Feeder steers over 600 lbs 5.00-15.00 higher conservatively, with the 700 lb weight class being 10.00 lower on lesser quality. Feeder heifers too light to test due to limited receipts this week but a slightly lower undertone noted. Steer calves mostly steady. Heifer calves 10.00-15.00 lower. Demand strong. Quality average to attractive. Cooler temperatures outdoors and new sellers indoors brought a new optimism to the sale and fresh energy to the barn.
