As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers sold steady, feeder heifers sold steady with good demand. Slaughter cow’s 1.00-3.00 lower, Slaughter bulls 1.00-2.00 lower. There was good demand for all classes of feeder cattle, with heavy offerings and good buyer activity this week. Buyers showed good interest in steer cattle and cattle with favorable condition as hot weather continues throughout the region with heat of the day storms.
