As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers sold mostly steady on limited comparable sales. Trade activity and demand were moderate. Several loads of steers available in the offering coming off of grass with thin fleshed condition. Heavy rain fell around the trading area along with fall-like temperatures. Slaughter cows and bulls traded steady.
