As filed

Compared to last week, steers sold mostly 5.00 to 12.00 lower, and heifers sold unevenly steady from 5.00 lower to 6.00 higher. Many small groups of unweaned or short weaned calves this week. The feeder cattle futures board showed some recovery throughout the day after a sharp downturn at the end of last week highly related to a bearish cattle on feed report published last Friday. Demand was moderate to light on a moderate supply.
