As filed

Compared to last Thursday at the same market, not enough stocker or feeder cattle this week for accurate trends, however a weaker undertone was noted as major feedlots where off the market due to the light offerings. Slaughter cows and bulls steady. Trade active from both local and internet buyers. Demand light on stocker and feeder cattle good on slaughter cows and bulls and replacement cattle.
