As filed

Compared to last week: Not enough comparable sales on feeder steers or heifers for a market trend. Slaughter cows and bulls traded mostly 2.00 higher compared to last weeks light test. Trading activity was light to moderate on moderate buyer demand. Temperatures continue to be above average for this time of year, with limited moisture in the Central and Southern Panhandle.
