As filed

Compared to last week, boning type slaughter cows were 1.00 to 2.00 higher; there were too few comparable breaking type slaughter cows and slaughter bulls to establish an adequate market comparison. Feeder cattle were mostly steady to 2.00 higher. Demand was good; market activity and buyer interest were active. Offerings of cattle were mostly moderate. Cattle quality was mostly average to attractive. Baby calves ranged 35.00 to 55.00 per head.
