As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold 1.00 to 5.00 higher. Trade activity was moderate to good on good demand. Chances of rain around the trading area and cooler temperature raises hope for winter wheat pastures that have been planted. Slaughter cows and bulls were 1.00 to 3.00 lower on a light test.
