As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers and bulls sharply lower overall, with exception of steers weighing over 650 lbs. 6.00 higher, and feeder heifers measuring 10.00 lower overall. Lower prices on feeder classes due, in part, to predominantly plainer-type offerings and recent ongoing downturn in the futures market. Slaughter cows gauging 3.00 to 9.00 lower overall with slaughter bulls 5.00 to 8.00 lower.
