As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 550 lbs. 1.00-5.00 higher; over 550 lbs. 3.00-7.00 lower. Feeder heifers 3.00-8.00 lower. Slaughter cows 1.00-3.00 lower. Slaughter bulls 2.00 lower. Quality was average. Buyer activity was good just not as eager to buy the new crop calves. Feeder cattle futures have been softer over last week resulting in a softer tone in the market.
