As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 600 lbs steady to 10.00 lower not enough over 600 lbs last week for a trend. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 2.00-10.00 lower 600-650 lbs 3.00 higher. Light run due to heavy rain in the area. Slaughter cows and bulls near steady on a light test in most classes.
