As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers weighing up to 500 lbs. sharply lower with light demand noted, and those weighing over 500 lbs. mostly steady. Feeder bulls weighing up to 550 lbs. sharply higher with strong demand noted, and those weighing over 550 lbs. 1.00 to 2.00 higher. No comparisons available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts, but a slightly higher undertone was noted. Slaughter cows gauging 4.00 to 7.00 higher with exception of lean cows mostly steady, and slaughter bulls 3.00 to 4.00 higher.
