As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold 12.00 to 20.00 lower. Feeder heifers were mostly 15.00 to 25.00 lower. Some of the offerings of plain or un-weaned cattle on both heifers and steers were discounted heavily by the buyers with some offerings as much as 30.00 lower on both. A sharply lower futures board and lower than normal buyer attendance helped add to the lower trend. Slaughter cows were 3.00 to 10.00 lower and slaughter bulls were steady to 3.00 lower. Supply was good and demand light for most ranges.
