As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers remaining mostly steady overall, with feeder heifers 1.00 lower, and feeder bulls 1.00 to 2.00 higher. Slaughter cows gauging 3.00 higher with no comparisons available for slaughter bulls due to limited comparable receipts, however, a higher undertone was noted. Let it be noted that comparisons for all classes are based on a light test this week due to inclement weather.
