As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 500 lbs. unevenly steady, over 500 lbs. 2.00 lower, instances 4.00-5.00 lower on 600-750 lbs. Heifers under 500 lbs. 5.00-10.00 higher, over 500 lbs. 1.00-2.00 higher. Slaughter cows 5.00-8.00 higher. No accurate comparison om bulls due to limited receipts last week but a much higher undertone noted, though quality more attractive. Trade and demand moderate to active on feeders and very good on slaughter cows and bulls.
