As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers sold 6.00-8.00 lower and feeder heifers were unevenly steady. Bull calves under 600 lbs. traded 4.00-6.00 higher and those over 600 lbs. were 4.00-6.00 lower. All classes of feeder cattle sold with moderate demand. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-5.00 lower and slaughter bulls traded 6.00-8.00 lower on a poor quality offering.
