As filed

Compared to this sale two weeks ago, too limited receipts on feeder steers/bulls to compare but demand was good and quality was fair to good, feeder heifers weighing up to 550lbs 10.00 to 20.00 higher. Slaughter breaker cows 1.00 higher, boner 4.00 lower, lean cows sharply lower and bulls 5.00 lower.

Slaughter cattle
