As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers traded mostly steady to 2.00 lower. Feeder heifers traded mostly 2.00 to 4.00 higher. Slaughter cows and bulls sold mostly steady. Trade activity was moderate to active on good buyer demand. Temperatures have been unseasonably warm for this time of year, but the majority of the area is still in desperate need of a rain.
