As filed

Compared to last sale: Feeder steers under 600 lbs sold mostly 7.00 to 15.00 lower on a light test, while those over 600 lbs sold sharply lower on a very light test. Feeder heifers did not have enough comparisons in any weight ranges for an accurate market trend. Average dress slaughter cows sold 11.00 to 13.00 lower and slaughter bulls sold 4.00 lower. The next available report will occur as receipts warrant.
