As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter steers and heifers were 1.00 to 2.00 lower with still light packer inquiry. Breaker cows were trading 1.00 to 4.00 higher with boner and lean cows 1.00 to 3.00 lower. All classes of feeder cattle were trending higher but no comparison to last week due to light receipts last week.
