As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold mostly steady on light comparable sales. Trade activity was light to moderate on moderate demand. It was either feast or famine with rainfall over the past weekend, some areas were fortunate enough to receive a couple of inches while other did not get a drop. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 1.00 to 3.00 lower.
