As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 400-600 lbs 6.00-10.00 higher than last weeks light test. Feeder heifers mostly steady to 4.00 lower than last weeks light test. Slaughter cows 1.00-3.00 lower. Not enough slaughter bulls for a trend last week. The offering was small again this week due to wet muddy conditions.
