As filed

Compared to last week, the best tested weights of feeder heifers under 650lbs traded mostly steady. Steer calves were not well tested but traded with a weaker undertone. Supply was very light with moderate to light demand. Slaughter cattle traded steady to 4.00 lower also on a light test.
