As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers measuring 6.00 higher, with feeder heifers and bulls 3.00 to 5.00 higher overall. Slaughter cows holding mostly steady with no comparisons available for slaughter bulls due to limited comparable receipts on non-natural, average dressing bulls, however, a lower undertone was noted.
