As filed

Compared to last week, feeders sold steady to 10.00 lower. The supply was light, but ten full loads and a few part loads were in the offering today, aside from that the remainder was small packages and singles. Slaughter steers and heifers sold mostly 10.00 lower. A light offering of slaughter cows and bulls sold 5.00-10.00 higher with the most advance on high dressing breaking and boning cows.
