As filed

Compared to last week, steer and heifer calves sold steady to 5.00 higher on comparable sales, with the exception on 450-500 lb steers trading 5.00 lower. Feeder steers and heifers have no comparison due to limited receipts last week. Trade active, demand moderate to good. Slaughter cows were mostly 2.00-5.00 lower. Slaughter bulls 4.00-5.00 lower.
