As filed

Compared to last week, coming right off the holiday weekend. Supply on feeder calves this week was light, selling on a light test with few comparables no trends could be determined. On a moderate test slaughter cattle sold steady to $5.00 higher. Buyer attendance was down from last week however demand was good.
