As filed

Compared to last week, slaughter cows were 1.00 to 3.00 lower, while bulls were 8.00 to 9.00 higher. There were too few comparable feeder heifers and bulls to establish an adequate market comparison; steers were mostly 1.00 to 3.00 lower. Demand was moderate; market activity and buyer interest were moderate. Offerings of cattle were moderate. Cattle quality was average.
