As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers were mostly steady to firm on limited comparable sales. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly 4.00 to 5.00 lower. Trading activity and demand were moderate. Quality was mostly plain to average. Rain has returned to the trading region with scattered showers bringing anywhere from a tenth to 2 plus inches. Pastures are still green, and field prep is underway for winter wheat planting.
