As filed

Compared to last Thursday: Feeder steers and heifers under 500 lbs. were 4.00-6.00 lower with those over 500 lbs. selling steady. Bull calves traded 6.00-8.00 lower. Please note that temperatures were in the mid to upper 90's which affected feeder calf buyer interest. Slaughter cows and bulls sold fully steady.
