As filed

Compared to last week, feeder heifers sold 5.00 to 35.00 lower overall with light demand noted. Feeder bulls weighing up to 450 lbs. sold 10.00 to 25.00 lower with those weighing over 450 lbs. mostly steady. No comparisons available for feeder steers due to limited comparable receipts. Low-quality feeder offerings was noted with abundance of fleshy calves being sold at a discount. Overall lower prices on feeder cattle due to the recent downturn in the feeder cattle futures market. Slaughter cows sold 4.00 to 11.00 lower overall with slaughter bulls 1.00 higher.
