As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers lower 9.00. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 lower. Slaughter cows down 10.00. Slaughter bulls light test with lower undertones. Lighter receipts, with plain to average offerings. Moderate demand with rain bringing in some farm sellers and buyers staying for the auction. NEOK is in drought, pray for more rain.
