As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers mostly 1.00-2.00 higher except the 450-550 lbs 3.00-8.00 lower. Feeder heifers mixed from 3.00 higher to 3.00 lower generally steady. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher on the small amount observed due to time limits. Not enough slaughter bulls observed for a trend.
