* Final Report*

Compared to Friday's and Saturday's Anniversary Special, feeder steers and heifers under 700 lb were lightly tested however a weaker undertone was noted. Feeder steers and heifers 700 lb to 900 lb sold 1.00 to 3.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good. Compared to two weeks ago, slaughter cows and bull sold steady.
