As filed

Compared to the last feeder auction two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold 4.00 to 8.00 lower. Slaughter cows unevenly steady. This week's trade was a little stronger than some expected, given the prolonged downturn the beef sector is in. Cattle futures made a little turn around late in the trading session which did lend some support to the local cash market. Supply moderate to heavy and demand moderate.
