As filed

Compared to last Wednesday: Feeder steers sold steady and feeder heifers were steady to 3.00 higher. Bull calves traded 4.00-6.00 higher. The demand for all classes of feeder calves was stronger than the previous weeks. Slaughter cows sold steady to 3.00 higher and no test on slaughter bulls due to low receipts.
