As filed

*Close* Compared to last week: Very light offerings today due to heavy amounts of rain in the area. Feeder steers and heifers not enough comparable weights for an accurate market trend, lower undertone prevailed. Calves in limited supply but a lower undertone noted. Slaughter cows sold 1.00 to 2.00 lower. Bulls sold mostly steady using a limited test. Overall, demand moderate to good, quality mostly average to some attractive.
