As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 4.00 higher, except 700 lbs - 800 lbs steady to 2.00 lower and 950 lbs - 1000 lbs 6.00 to 9.00 lower. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 lower. Demand for this eye appealing offering of feeder cattle was good. Black hided cattle draw a lot more attention than colored cattle, other factors effecting price were load lot versus small packages and vaccination as well as implant program. Lots of buyers talking today about costs of inputs continuing to rise and inflation possibly decreasing the consumers purchasing power. Slaughter cows steady. Bulls sold with lower undertones.
