As filed

Compared to last sale: Feeder steer steady to 5.00 higher. Steer calves steady to 2.00 higher with instances of 12.00-15.00 higher on better quality cattle. Feeder heifers remained steady this week. Heifer calves 2.00-7.00 higher. Demand very good for feeder cattle. The winds have picked up in the area making for low visibity and wildfires had many of our crew and customers on high alert.
