As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers sold sharply lower on 400lbs calves, with 500lbs and heavier selling unevenly steady. While feeder heifers sold too light to trend, breaker slaughter cows sold steady while boning and lean slaughter cows sold 10.00-11.00 higher. Slaughter bulls sold steady to 6.00 higher on a light test. Trade was active with a good demand and a moderate supply.
