As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers under 600 lbs sold steady to 6.00 lower, while steers over 600 lbs sold 1.00 to 2.00 lower. Feeder heifers didn't have enough comparisons in any weight range for an accurate market trend, though a lower undertone was noticed. Slaughter cows sold unevenly steady and slaughter bulls sold 4.00 higher. The next available report will occur as receipts warrant.

Slaughter cattle
