As filed

Compared to last Thursday, Stocker steers and heifers less than 600 lbs 3.00-7.00 lower. Feeder cattle over 700 lbs 3.00-14.00 lower with the most decline on heifers over 700 lbs. Buyer attendance light this week. Slaughter cows and bulls weak to 3.00 lower as officials are declaring the western United States is in a megadrought condition. Also with an interest out of the market. Trade active with light to moderate demand.
