Best test on the feeder market compared to last week was on yearling cattle 
over 700 lbs. Steers sold 5.00 to 10.00 higher and 8 weight heifers sold 10.00 
higher all on a thin test of the market. Slaughter steers and heifers sold 2.00 
to 7.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 higher and slaughter bulls 
sold 4.00 higher. Unbelievable that the most weights and classes of cattle go 
up a little each week!
