As filed

Compared to last Wednesday; Steer and heifer calves traded lower on a limited test. Feeder steers and heifers both traded 4.00 to 6.00 higher with some long strings of reputation cattle on display. Active bidding throughout the sale but again a very light test on the calf market compared to last week.
