As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 5.00 lower with instances of 12.00 lower, except 550 lbs - 600 lbs 4.00 to 6.00 higher. Feeder heifers 2.00 to 6.00 lower, except 550 lbs - 650 lbs steady to 3.00 higher. Demand for this eye appealing offering of green cattle was moderate. Possibility of mixed precipitation scared a few buyers, the farmers and buyers in the seats were lighter than normal today. Black hided cattle in biggest demand creating wider price gaps today. Vaccinations given, number of rounds, implants and amount of time weaned were also factors that determined the demand. 6 loads of large yearling cattle sold today with very good interest. Slaughter cows steady to 4.00 lower. Bulls sold steadyish in a light test.
