As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers traded unevenly steady. Feeder heifers sold sharply lower. The demand remained good for steers but it was much lower for the heifers. The majority of the heifers in today's offering that were unweaned which contributed to the lower demand. Slaughter cows sold 3.00-5.00 higher and slaughter bulls were mostly steady.
