As filed

Lighter run of all head compared to last reported, lighter run of feeders but similar offering of slaughter and replacement cattle as well as sheep and goats. Slightly stronger demand this week for feeders roughly $5/cwt for steers and $2/cwt on heifers. Demand remained steady for slaughter cattle. Higher than average rainfall and pasture reported for the season in the Ohio valley.
