As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers sold 4.00 to 10.00 higher, feeder heifers sold unevenly steady, and feeder bulls sold 3.00 to 7.00 lower. Slaughter cows were not well tested and slaughter bulls sold steady to 5.00 higher. Quality was plain to average on a lighter run and demand was moderate.
