As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 lower and bulls were 3.00 to 4.00 lower. There were too few comparable feeder cattle to establish an adequate market comparison. Demand was moderate; market activity and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were mostly moderate. Cattle quality was average.
