As filed

Compared to last Thursday at the same market, Stocker and feeder cattle steady to 4.00 higher with most advance on heifers. Corn prices were sharply lower this week. Quality this week was attractive and buyer attendance was good. Slaughter cows and bulls 2.00-8.00 lower as supply exceeds demand and processors have memorial day needs met. Trade active with good demand.
