As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers and heifers sold sharply lower. There was better activity by feeder buyers today even though prices don't reflect the stronger demand. Several events in recent days have had a negative impact on feeder cattle trading. Slaughter cows and bulls continue to trade mostly steady.
