As filed

Compared to last Thursday at the same market, stocker and feeder cattle weak in a light test. Buyer attendance was light this week. Quality not as attractive as last week. Slaughter cows and bulls 1.00-4.00 lower as the heat wave has passed through the trade area more slaughter cattle are showing up. Trade active with good demand.
