As filed

Compared to last weeks lighter receipts: Feeder steers and steer calves unevenly. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 lower. Heifer calves unevenly steady. Demand good. Quality this week was mostly plain with a few attractive drafts. Temperatures will climb into the 90s before a cool front comes through bringing a chance for rain on Sunday. Cattle futures traded in the green today.
