As filed

Compared to last Monday: Feeder steers and bull calves sold 8.00-10.00 lower and feeder heifers traded 10.00-12.00 lower. Buyer demand was low on feeder cattle due to the changing weather's affects on feeder cattle health. Slaughter cows traded steady to 3.00 higher on a average quality offering and slaughter bulls were steady an a plain offering.
