As filed

Compared to last Thursday at the same market, not enough stocker steers under 600 lbs for accurate market test. Feeder Steers over 600 lbs weak to 5.00 lower. Stocker heifers under 700 lbs steady to 1.00 higher, not enough yearling heifers for an adequate market test. Slaughter cows firm to 7.00 higher as beef type cows where scarce this week. Not enough slaughter bulls for an adequate market test. Trade active with good demand.
