As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers 1.00-5.00 lower. Feeder heifers 3.00-5.00 lower. Slaughter cows 3.00-8.00 lower. Slaughter bulls steady. Quality was average to plain. Light receipts and wet conditions had some buyer reluctant to buy many cattle this week. Market was softer on most classes.
