As filed

Compared to last week: In a light test this week, steers and heifers sold with steady to lower undertones. Demand for this nice offering of feeder cattle was good. Several buyers in the seats, as well as on the internet. A few long strings of steers and heifers sold. Lots of small packages this week that helped to fill loads. Most cattle hauled in overnight, with some coming in on Friday and Saturday. Flesh condition, along with rounds of shots were big factors influencing buyers, color has not been a big factor the last couple of weeks. Crossbred cattle are becoming a bigger offering the last few months as well. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 4.00 lower. Bulls 6.00 to 7.00 lower
