As filed

Compared to last week: No accurate comparison on feeder steers or heifers due to limited receipts last week but a lower undertone except a few 500-600 lbs. with a higher undertone on those. Slaughter cows and bulls 4.00-5.00 higher. Trade and demand moderate on feeders, trade active, demand good on slaughter cows and bulls.
