As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers on a light test from last week and a light test this week both sold 10.00 to 20.00 lower. Demand was moderate and supply was light. Several offerings of plain and unweand cattled along with a sharply lower Futures market over the last week pushed the market lower. However there were a few offerings high quality feeder steers and heifers from one ticket that brought a premium and held there own against last week. Slaughter bulls were not well tested and slaughter cows were not viewed.
