As filed

Compared to a light test last week, steers and heifers 3.00 to 6.00 lower. Slaughter cows 2.00 to 3.00 higher, slaughter bulls 1.00 to 2.00 higher. Demand moderate for feeders, good for slaughter and replacement cattle, supply moderate. Feeder cattle trade under pressure as Feeder Cattle futures closed limited down.
