As filed

Compared to last week feeder steers traded steady to 3.00 higher. Feeders heifers were in demand and traded 5.00-11.00 higher. In the slaughter portion of the sale slaughter cows traded 11.00-14.00 lower with slaughter bulls trading 6.00-9.00 lower. Not enough replacement cattle for a comparison. Supply was heavy with moderate demand.
