As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers measuring 4.00 to 5.00 higher overall, with feeder bulls weighing up to 450 lbs. sharply higher and those weighing over 450 lbs. 3.00 to 4.00 higher, and no comparisons available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts. Slaughter cows and bulls mostly steady overall.
