As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher on limited comparable sales. Trade activity and demand were moderate to good. Temperatures have cooled off from the triple digit mark and some areas have been fortunate to receive rainfall; producers are preparing to plant winter wheat pastures. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 1.00 to 3.00 lower.
