As filed

Compared to the last test two weeks ago: Feeder cattle lightly tested. Feeder steers 3.00-8.00 higher. Feeder heifers 3.00-5.00 higher. Steer calves 8.00-13.00 higher, instance to 25.00 higher. Heifer calves 15.00-20.00 higher, instance to 30.00 higher on 300-400 lbs. Demand very good for all classes. Several thin fleshed cattle included. Slaughter cows mostly steady with last week, except Boner cows 4.00 higher. Slaughter bulls 2.00 higher than last week's light test. Packer demand good.
