As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers and heifers sold 5.00 to 10.00 lower. There was moderate demand for feeder classes. The downward trend of the CME cattle futures from late last week through today combined with the uncertainty and volatility of the stock market today put heavy downward pressure on the market today for feeder classes. Slaughter cows sold mostly steady. Slaughter bulls sold 2.00 to 4.00 higher. There was good demand for slaughter classes.
