As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers and bulls unevenly steady, with feeder heifers 4.00 to 5.00 higher. Slaughter cows measuring 2.00 to 4.00 higher overall, with no comparisons available for slaughter bulls due to limited comparable receipts from this week, however, a higher undertone was noted.
