As filed

Compared to last week: Steer and heifer calves sold 5.00 to 15.00 lower. Yearlings were not well tested. Trade activity and demand were light to moderate. The feeder cattle and live cattle index took major losses this week curbing receipts and prices. Slaughter cows and bulls were steady.
