As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves 7.00 to 10.00 lower, yearlings not well tested. Slaughter cows steady, except breaking utility 2.00 lower, slaughter bulls steady on light test. Demand moderate, supply light. Financial and commodity markets sharply lower again as the Coronavirus dominates the news.
