As filed

Compared to the last trended sale two weeks ago, feeder steers under 550 lbs 4.00-12.00 lower, over 550 lbs steady to 3.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 4.00-12.00 lower, over 600 lbs 2.00-4.00 lower. Slaughter cows steady compared to last week. Demand moderate. Supply heavy. Feeders were lower, especially the lighter cattle as big losses in feeder futures so far this week took a toll along with the dry weather becoming a major concern. Several nice cattle in the mix with numerous reputation consignments scheduled in for the next few weeks.
