As filed

Compared to last report feeder cattle sold unevenly steady. With breaker and boning slaughter cows selling 7.00 higher, and lean cattle selling steady on a light test. With slaughter bulls selling steady on a light test. While sheep and goats selling with too few comparable sales to test. Trade was active with a good demand with a moderate supply.
