As filed

Compared to the last sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers, including the yearling load lots, traded 3.00 to 6.00 lower. Slaughter cows weak to 5.00 lower. A handful of pot loads of yearling steers made up the bulk of the offering with the most of rest of the feeder offering moving through in very small packages and single head lots. Supply light to moderate, demand moderate.
