As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 2.00 to 4.00 lower except, 600lbs - 650lbs 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Feeder heifers 1.00 to 3.00 lower except, 700lbs - 850lbs steady to 2.00 higher. Demand for this nice offering of cattle was good. Some cattle had more flesh this week than we have seen in the past couple. CME Feeder Cattle were lower while corn jumped higher. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher. Bulls to few to make a meaningful comparison.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
