As filed

Compared to last Monday the feeder market was stronger with a good quality offering. Good quality feeder steers and heifers were 6.00 to 10.00 higher or greater in several spots with a good supply and strong demand. Yearling steers and heifers appeared sharply stronger as well, but with limited head to head comparisons. Double digit gains in the future market over the past week and cooler weather conditions have increased the premiums paid and demand for all classes of feeder cattle. Slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 higher with a good supply and slaughter bulls were steady with good demand.
