As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers lower undertone prevailed, not enough comparable weights for accurate market trend. Due to short numbers last week, feeder heifers limited comparable weights available, higher undertone noted on 800-850 lbs. Calves lower undertone noted, not enough comparable weights for market test. Overall demand moderate, quality average. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 2.00 lower.
