As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers over 850 lbs were steady to 3.00 lower, under 850 lbs too lightly tested last week for comparison. Feeder heifers under 750 lbs sold with steady to higher undertones, over 750 lbs steady to 3.00 lower with instances of 5.00 to 10.00 lower on 750-850 lbs. Nice offering of attractive to very attractive steers and heifers, demand was good to very good at times in spite of CME Live Cattle Futures 3.00 lower and Feeder Cattle Futures over 4.00 lower. Flesh condition ranged moderate to moderate plus as mild weather continues across the regional allowing cattle to easily maintain body condition. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 5.00 lower compared to last Wednesday, Bulls not tested.
