As filed

Compared to last Thursday at the same market, not enough stocker or feeder cattle offered this week for accurate trends. Most Supplies this week where small lots and singles. Slaughter cows 7.00-8.00 lower. Due in part to an interest out of the market this week. Slaughter bulls weak in a light test. Trade moderate with light to moderate demand from both buyers in the stands and on the internet. Buyer attendance was light.
