As filed

Compared to last Thursday at the same market, Stocker and feeder cattle firm. Quality more attractive this week as buyers where able to purchase load lots. Buyer attendance was good. Slaughter cows 6.00-8.00 higher as demand is greater that the current supply. Slaughter bulls firm in a light test. Trade active with good demand.
