As filed

Compared to last week, boning type slaughter cows were 4.00 to 5.00 higher, while slaughter bulls were steady to 1.00 lower; there were too few breaking type slaughter cows to establish an adequate market comparison. Feeder cattle were mixed, mostly 1.00 lower to 5.00 higher. Demand, market activity, and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were fairly light. Cattle quality was average. Baby calves ranged 25.00 to 50.00 per head.
