As filed

Compared to the last sale: Feeder cattle were too thinly tested to accurately trend. In slaughter cattle, average dressing slaughter breaker cows sold for 4.00-12.00 higher, boner cows sold 1.00 to 5.00 lower, while lean cows had no change. Bulls sold 1.00-6.00 lower than last week. The next available report will occur as receipts warrant.
