As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold 2.00 to 4.00 lower on a limited test. Trade activity was light on light to moderate demand. Receipts were curbed as a drop in the market occurred to start off the week but the CME regained some footing by mid week. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 3.00 to 5.00 higher.
