As filed

Compared to last sale: In a light test due to this week's and last week's receipt totals, feeder steers 600-800 lbs 5.00 lower, over 800 lbs 2.00 higher. Feeder heifers only one weight class tested, 750-800 lbs 14.00 lower. Steer and heifer calves remained relatively steady. Demand strong. Quality average. Today, condition played a crucial role in buyer demand. Cattle of any grade with good, hardened conditioning sold at the top of their graded weight class. Temperatures forecasted to remain in the triple digits for the remainder of this week with no precipitation. CME feeder futures boards closed in the red today.
