As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 4.00 to 8.00 higher. Not enough feeder heifers of the same class for a good comparison but a stronger undertone was noted. Long time weaned steer and heifer calves 4.00 to 8.00 higher, but unweaned calves steady with a weaker undertone noted. Demand was moderate. Quality was average with some good quality unweaned calves in the offering.
