As filed

Compared to sale two weeks ago, feeder heifers measuring 2.00 higher overall, with feeder bulls weighing up to 500 lbs. mostly steady and those weighing over 500 lbs. 3.00 higher, and no comparisons available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts from last reported sale. Slaughter cows gauging 2.00 to 3.00 higher overall with slaughter bulls 6.00 to 9.00 higher.
