As filed

Compared to last week, on a moderate test of light weight feeders, trading 2.00 to 5.00 higher, with some drafts higher on the better quality weaned calves. Last week was a light test on yearlings but this week there was a good offering of several pot loads trading steady to firm with a strong demand. Slaughter cows and bulls traded steady to firm.
