As filed

Compared to last Tuesday sale on a light offering; slaughter cows firm to instances 8.00-10.00 higher, slaughter bulls 5.00-8.00 higher, with good demand for feeder cows going back to grass or feed. Demand good with buyers aggressive trying to fill trucks for the week. Not enough feeder calves for a good market test.
