As filed

Compared to last week, a very light offering of feeder calves were not well tested with last week's special, with several new crop calves in the offer, also several unweaned/short weaned all selling in small packages, small lots and singles. Slaughter steers and heifers sold steady with last week with slaughter cows trading steady to firm, with several high dressing bulls selling from 178.00-184.00.
