As filed

Compared to last Thursday at the same market, Stocker and feeder cattle steady to firm in a light test. Most lots of feeder cattle offered today where small lots and singles. Slaughter cows steady to firm. Slaughter Bulls 1.00-2.00 lower with lower quality offered this week. Trade active with good demand. Especially from internet buyers on feeder cattle.
