As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were 2.00 to 5.00 higher and bulls were 9.00 to 10.00 higher on a very light test. There were too few comparable feeder cattle the previous week to establish an adequate market comparison, but a higher undertone was noted. Demand, market activity, and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were fairly heavy. Cattle quality was average. Baby calves ranged 25.00 to 75.00 per head.
