As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold with higher undertones. Black hided cattle are in biggest demand creating wide price gaps. Overall demand today was good. Several loads of yearling heifers sold today. Rain over the weekend brought in a few farmers to bid. In alight test slaughter cows and bulls sold with lower undertones.
