As filed

*Todays sale included a bred cow special.*

Compared to last week, feeder cattle sold sharply higher on calves and yearlings. Slaughter cows sold 1.00 to 3.00 higher on lean and boning cattle, with breaker cattle selling steady to 3.00 lower. Slaughter bulls sold too light to trend. Trade was active with good demand and a moderate supply.
