As filed

Compared to last week; slaughter and feeder cows traded 2.00 to 3.00 lower. Slaughter bulls traded unevenly steady. Nice offering of all classes of cows with majority of the cows returning to the country.

A barn can sit above the state average at one weight and below it at another — check the class you actually sell.
