As filed

Compared to last Tuesday feeder steers and heifers sold 10.00 to 15.00 lower on a limited test due to light number of receipts. There was light to moderate demand for feeder classes. Light supply of feeder classes due to extreme heat restricting movement. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher. There was good demand for slaughter classes.
