As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers were mostly 5.00 to 10.00 higher. Feeder heifers traded steady to 7.00 higher. Slaughter cows were mostly steady and slaughter bulls were 4.00 to 7.00 higher. Supply was lighter than last weeks pre-vac but prices held strong with good buyer support on most classes. Weaned and light fleshed cattle sold at a premium.

Slaughter cattle
