As filed

Compared to last report feeder steers sold sharply lower, with feeder heifers selling unevenly steady on a light test. While boning slaughter cows to light to test, with no trend available on slaughter bulls, goats and lambs due to too few comparable sales with slaughter ewes selling unevenly steady on a light test. Trade was active with a good demand with a moderate supply.
