As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers traded 6.00 - 12.00 higher while feeder heifers traded steady to 6.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls traded steady to 3.00 higher. Demand was good on all classes of animals, supply was light due to the hot temperatures and heavy hay harvest in this area.
