As filed

Compared to last week: This week's feeder steer and heifer offering were of different weights from last week, price comparisons couldn't be made. Very good demand for this lighter offering of yearling steers and heifers, several long strings offered in full loads and multiple load lots. Flesh condition ranged from moderate to heavy. The market was very active as cash fat cattle up to 260.00 last week and limited feeder cattle auctions across the region.
