As filed

Compared to the last special two weeks ago, feeder steers weighing 450-700 lbs sold 6.00-12.00 lower, with 700-750 lbs selling with a steady to weak undertone compared to two weeks ago light test, over 750 lbs traded with a lower undertone on few comparisons. Feeder heifers weighing 450-600 lbs sold steady to 5.00 lower, with 650-750 lbs selling 3.00-7.00 lower. Best demand was on 650-750 lb steers and heifers with good weighing conditions weighing 550-610 lbs. Slaughter cows traded steady to firm. CME cattle futures had a rough week with losses and lower fed cattle prices have pressured the market.
