As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers and bulls measuring 1.00 to 2.00 lower overall, with no comparisons available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts. Slaughter cows gauging 1.00 to 4.00 higher with slaughter bulls 4.00 to 6.00 higher, and increased demand was noted for slaughter classes.
