As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 2.00 to 5.00 higher with instance of 14.00 except, 400 lbs - 450 lbs 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Feeder heifers 2.00 to 4.00 higher with instances of 7.00, except 500 lbs - 600 lbs and 900 lbs - 950 lbs 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Demand for this eye catching offering of green cattle was good. Little cattle were not as sought after this week as last. Green cattle with shots and weaned for a few months drew the most attention from buyers. 7 weight steers were the hottest sought after group of cattle. Feedlot inventories have declined year over year for the last 5 consecutive months. Slaughter cows and bulls steady in a light test.
