As filed

Based on very slim comparisons to two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold mostly 3.00 to 8.00 lower. Slaughter cows 3.00 to 4.00 lower. The cash feeder market has faced a little shake up the past couple weeks but some bright spots aren't hard to find, including a load of 618 lb steers at 293.25 and a part of load of 511 lb heifers at 291.75. Supply light, demand moderate.
