As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Feeder steers and heifers too lightly tested this week to allow a good, solid price comparison, definite higher undertones noted. Very good demand for this light summer time offering of yearlings. The market was very active as there were many buyers on the seats eager to place cattle on feed. Flesh condition was light overall which resulted in a quick paced auction. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 lower, bulls 1.00 to 2.00 higher.
