As filed

Compared to last Thursday at the same market, not enough stocker or feeder cattle for accurate trends. Most area feedlots are off the market for the time being. Buyer attendance was light. Slaughter cows and bulls 4.00-9.00 lower as supply exceeds demand. An interest or so was off the market. Trade active with light to moderate demand for all classes.
