As filed

Breaking type slaughter cows were 5.00 to 6.00 lower compared to a light test the previous week; boning type slaughter cows were steady to 1.00 lower; and slaughter bulls were 10.00 to 11.00 lower on a very light test this week. Feeder steers were mostly 4.00 to 7.00 lower; heifers were mostly steady to 2.00 lower; while feeder bulls were mostly 4.00 to 5.00 higher. Demand was good at lower prices; market activity and buyer interest were active. Offerings of cattle were fairly heavy. Cattle quality was attractive.
