As filed

Compared to last week, feeder cattle sold too light to trend. With slaughter cattle selling 3.00 to 4.00 higher, and slaughter bulls selling too light to trend. While sheep and goats sold with not enough comparables to trend. Trade was active with a good demand and a light to moderate supply.
