As filed

Compared to last Tuesday on a feeder special; a light offering of slaughter cows and bulls mostly steady with instances 3.-00-5.00 lower on bulls. Few feeder cows returning to feed or pasture. Compared to last week; feeder calves were lightly tested to develop an accurate market trend. Demand good to moderate.
