As filed

Compared to last week: Stocker and feeder steers sold steady to 2.00 higher. Stocker and feeder heifers sold mostly steady. Slaughter cows sold steady to 4.00 higher. Slaughter bulls were not well tested. Several quality consignments of pre/vac and weaned cattle that sold at a premium. Supply was moderate with good demand for quality, weaker demand for plain and fleshy new crop calves.
