As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers under 500 lbs. traded 4.00 to 8.00 higher, heavier weights traded steady. Feeder heifers under 475 lbs. traded steady to 2.00 higher, over 500 lbs. traded 2.00 to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows and bulls traded steady. Not enough replacement cattle for a test. Supply was heavy with good demand.
