As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 2.00-3.00 lower. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs. 2.00-5.00 lower; over 600 lbs. 1.00-2.00 higher. Slaughter cows 5.00-8.00 lower. Slaughter bulls 5.00 lower. Quality was plain to average. Slaughter cattle had limited buyer partiicipation. Weaned cattle sold at a premium over fresh calves straight off cows. Wet weather caused limitied receipts.
