As filed

Compared to last week, breaking type slaughter cows were 3.00 to 4.00 higher, boning type were steady to 1.00 higher, while there were too few comparable bulls the previous sale to establish an adequate market comparison. Feeder steers were mostly 2.00 to 3.00 lower; four-weight heifers were steady to 1.00 lower, while five- and six-weights were mostly 4.00 to 6.00 higher; and feeder bulls were mostly steady to 7.00 higher. Demand was moderate to good; market activity and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were mostly moderate. Cattle quality was average.
