As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows gauging 1.00 to 4.00 higher, with no comparisons available for slaughter bulls due to limited comparable receipts. Also, no comparisons available for feeder classes due to limited comparable receipts of non-preconditioned calves, as 159 head of the day's feeder receipts were made up of preconditioned calves weaned for at least 30 days, vaccinated, and dewormed.
