As filed

Compared to last week, boning type slaughter cows were 1.00 to 2.00 lower and slaughter bulls were 7.00 to 8.00 lower with limited comparisons the previous week; there were too few breaking type slaughter cows to establish an adequate market comparison. Feeder cattle were mostly steady to 3.00 higher. Demand for feeder cattle was good; market activity and buyer interest were active. Offerings of cattle were mostly moderate. Cattle quality was average. Baby calves (4 head) ranged 20.00 to 35.00 per head.
