As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, 400-700 lb steers sold 8.00-12.00 higher, spots 15.00 higher, with 700-800 lbs trading 5.00-10.00 higher and a pot load of 850 steers selling with a higher undertone. Feeder heifers weighing 400-600 lbs sold 10.00-15.00 higher with heifers over 600 lbs selling with a sharply higher undertone on few good comparisons. Demand was good on a heavy offering of feeders. Very active market and trade to start the week with many strings and groups of good quality black hided feeders in the offering weighing mostly 450-700 lbs. Slaughter cows sold fully steady to firm with last week's offering. CME Feeder cattle contracts closed with triple digit gains of 162-185 higher on the front three months. July corn closed 6 cents lower with December corn closing 21 cents lower all giving support to the feeder cattle market.
