As filed

Compared to last week; slaughter and feeder cows traded 2.00 to 4.00 higher with majority of the cows returning to the country again this week. Feeder steers and heifers traded higher on comparable trades to last week. Much larger run this week than last week. Nice offering of long strings of feeder cattle with an active market on all weight classes. .
