As filed

Compared to two weeks ago: Steer calves under 600 lbs firm and heifer calves under 600 lbs steady to 2.00 lower in a limited test. Feeder steers over 600 lbs steady to weak in a limited test; feeder heifers over 600 lbs not well tested but a weaker undertone noted. Slaughter cows and bulls 5.00 to 10.00 lower. Drought conditions across the trade area and beyond along with a two week break for the holiday caused a high volume of cow and bulls receipts today. Trade and demand moderate.
