As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers sharply higher overall, with feeder bulls weighing up to 550 lbs. sharply higher and those weighing over 550 lbs. mostly steady. No comparisons available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts from last week's sale. Slaughter cows steady to 2.00 higher with slaughter bulls 1.00 to 3.00 higher.
