As filed

Compared to last Thursday at the same market, Stocker and feeder steers 1.00-3.00 higher in a light test. Not enough stocker or feeder heifers this week for accurate trends. Slaughter cows and bulls firm to mostly 3.00-6.00 higher as packers need more inventory. Trade active with good demand for light to moderate offerings.
