As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers sold mostly 5.00 to 10.00 lower, feeder heifers were mostly 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Slaughter cows sold 2.00 to 6.00 lower and slaughter bulls were 5.00 lower. Supply was lighter than previous weeks and demand was light on most ranges of cattle. A large supply of unweaned and new crop calves had buyers hesitant with temperatures expected to start to drop in the next week.
