As filed

Compared to last Monday: Feeder steers sold unevenly steady. Feeder heifers traded 5.00-6.00 higher. The feeder buyers continued showing good demand for steers and heifers, especially the higher quality calves. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 lower and no test on slaughter bulls due to low receipts today.
