As filed

Compared to last Thursday the feeder market was higher with a good quality offering. Good quality feeder steers 650 lbs and under were 4.00 to 6.00 higher or greater with several spots of sharply higher cattle, while the Yearling steers were steady to 4.00 higher with a good supply and good demand. Feeder heifers 500 lbs and under were sharply higher with strong demand, while the 500-600 lbs heifers were steady. Yearling heifer appeared stronger but with a light test. Buyers were active and willing to premiums today for weaned packages and groups of greener or harder conditioned calves, while discounting off colored and heavy conditioned calves severely. Slaughter cows were steady to 2.00 higher with a good supply and slaughter bulls were 3.00 to 4.00 higher with good demand.
