As filed

Compared to last week, the best tests of steers and heifers weighing 450lbs to 700lbs sold mostly 6.00 to 15.00 lower. Slaughter cows sold from 1.00 lower to 2.00 higher, and slaughter bulls were 2.00 to 4.00 higher. The feeder cattle futures board has been consistently trending down the past couple weeks, and many buyers are proceeding with caution in the auction barns and keeping decisions more conservative this week.
