As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, Feeder Steers sold steady to 5.00 higher. Feeder Heifers sold steady, but a week market undertone was noted on comparable sales. Feeder Bulls sold weak compared to a light test. Dairy Heifers and Steers sold firm with limited comparable sales. No comparison is available for Replacement Cattle. Buyer attendance and supply were moderate. Overall demand was moderate with good demand for higher quality cattle.
