As filed

Compared to last sale: Feeder steers and heifers 5.00-10.00 lower. Steer and heifer calves unevenly steady with a lower undertone noted. Quality today ranged anywhere from plain to attractive with several drafts of fancy and replacement heifers. Demand strong. The barn was full of new faces today looking to replace heifers and restock feeders as the last of the wheat cattle come to town. CME feeder futures board spent most of today in the red but closed unchanged.
