As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers weighing up to 500 lbs. mostly steady overall, with those weighing over 500 lbs. 6.00 lower, and feeder bulls weighing up to 400 lbs. sharply lower with those weighing over 400 lbs. 2.00 lower. No comparisons available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts, however, a lower undertone was noted on those weighing up to 450 lbs. All feeder comparisons based on a light test, with lower-quality offerings noted. Slaughter cows and bulls 1.00 to 2.00 lower overall with exception of breaker cows 4.00 to 5.00 higher.
