As filed

Compared to last week, boning type slaughter cows and slaughter bulls were 2.00 to 3.00 lower; there were too few breaking type slaughter cows to establish an adequate market comparison. Feeder cattle were mostly 4.00 to 10.00 higher on a very light test. Demand, market activity, and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were moderate. Cattle quality was average.
