As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Slaughter cattle sold 4.00 to 6.00 lower. Feeder cattle sold sharply lower. Trade moderate with light demand with very light demand on unweaned and plain feeder cattle. Dry conditions continue across much of the South and Midwest causing a sharp decrease in demand on feeder cattle. Replacement cattle market lightly tested.
