As filed

Compared to last week, feeder cattle sold too light to trend. With slaughter cattle selling too light to trend except boning cows that sold 9.00 lower, with slaughter bulls selling too light to trend. While sheep and goats sold with not enough comparables to trend except on slaughter ewes which sold 18.00 to 19.00 lower. Trade was active with a good demand and a light to moderate supply.
