As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 lower, while bulls were 3.00 to 4.00 higher on a very light test. Feeder steers were also lightly tested and were 3.00 to 4.00 lower; heifers were mostly 4.00 to 6.00 lower; and feeder bulls were sharply lower. Demand was moderate; market activity and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were moderate. Cattle quality was average. Baby calves (11 head) ranged 5.00 to 10.00 per head.
