As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers and bulls 2.00 to 3.00 higher overall, with exception of bulls weighing less than 400 lbs. sharply higher. No comparisons available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts, however, a higher undertone was noted. Slaughter cows gauging 1.00 to 2.00 higher overall with slaughter bulls mostly steady.
