As filed

Compared to last Thursday at the same market, Stocker and feeder steers 600-700 lbs firm, other wt. classes not enough for accurate trends. Stocker and feeder heifers 700-800 lbs steady, other wt classes weak in a light test. Slaughter cows weak to 3.00 lower. Slaughter bulls 3.00-3.50 higher. Trade was active with good demand both from the local and internet buyers. Local interests are still picking thru consignments to fill pasture needs.
