As filed

Compared to last week: Heavy rain across the trade area kept receipts too few to establish a trend, however a lower undertone is noted on both steers and heifers. Demand good. Quality average thru good. Slaughter cows 3.00 lower in a light test. Slaughter bulls 2.00 lower also in a light test. A total of 139 cows and bulls sold with 56 percent going to packers.
