As filed

Compared to the sale last Tuesday; Too light a test for Choice slaughter steers in the previous sale, no comparison. Downward trend noted. Choice slaughter heifers 9.00 lower, with no implant heifers 7.00 lower. CME live cattle futures down today, following a distressing week in the market. Half loads and smaller packages in the offering today. Demand good.
