As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves unevenly steady with a lower undertone on fleshy unweaned offerings. No accurate comparison on feeders due to limited comparable sales. Unweaned offerings making up the bulk of the steer and heifer consignments. Slaughter cows 1.00-3.00 lower, bulls 2.00 lower.
