As filed

Compared to last week; feeder steers and heifers traded 3.00 to 7.00 higher. A very active market with many long stings of reputation cattle on hand. No trend on calves right off the cow but a very active market and a higher demand for calves with spring and fall shots. A very large sale with lots of activity from the seats and the internet.
