As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, feeder steers weighing 500-600 lbs sold steady to firm, with 600-700 lbs selling 5.00-7.00 lower and steers over 700 lbs trading with a lower undertone on a light test. Feeder heifers weighing 450-500 lbs sold steady to 3.00 lower, 500-750 lbs sold mostly 5.00-10.00 lower with spots 12.00 lower on the 6 weight heifers. Demand and supply was moderate. Slaughter cows sold fully steady with last week. Overall feeder quality was not as attractive as the last special with weighing conditions not as attractive and more feeders carrying flesh and unweaned. The feeder market has also been on a decline as cattle futures and fed cattle market have been trading lower.
