As filed

Compared to the slaughter cattle auction one week ago, choice slaughter steers and heifers were 2.00 to 5.00 higher. Premium paid for certified (implant-free) cattle today. A large portion of today's consignments were loads of reputation single source yearling feeders which all returned to feed. Demand was good. Trade was active.
