As filed

Compared to last week, boning type slaughter cows were 1.00 to 2.00 higher and slaughter bulls were 3.00 to 4.00 higher; there were too few comparable breaking type slaughter cows to establish an adequate market comparison. Feeder cattle were mostly 1.00 to 3.00 lower. Demand was moderate to good; market activity and buyer interest were moderate to active. Offerings of cattle were moderate. Cattle quality was average.
