As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers and heifers weighing under 700 lbs were fully steady; yearlings over 700 lbs sold steady to 3.00 lower. Trade activity was moderate on moderate to good demand. Feedyards remain full and only moderate at best demand for cattle. Slaughter cows and bulls sold 2.00 to 5.00 higher, with instances much higher on high dressing cows.
