As filed

This week compared to last, no trend available due to limited comparable sales on feeder cattle. Slaughter cows sold steady to 1.00 higher. While slaughter bulls sold 1.00 lower on a light test. With no sheep or goats sold to trend. Trade was active with a good demand and a moderate supply.
