As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold mostly steady to 11.00 lower. Feeder heifers sold 1.00-9.00 lower, except for the 400-450 lbs and they sold 7.00 higher. Slaughter cows sold steady. Slaughter bulls sold 8.00-15.00 lower. Today, a nice set of bred heifers sold, the enthusiasm and demand was solid.
