As filed

Compared to the last Feeder Special two weeks ago, the best test was on 500-700 lb steers selling 5.00-10.00 higher, with three pot loads of 895-995 lb yearling steers selling with a higher undertone with no recent comparison. Feeder heifers weighing 400-600 lbs sold 3.00-7.00 higher and over 600 lbs sold with a higher undertone on limited comparisons. Slaughter cows traded steady to firm on a nice offering. A good offering of weaned black steer calves weighing mostly 500-700 lbs sold with good demand on and active market along with two pot loads of big yearling steers weighing 960-997 lbs. Feeder cattle market continues to advance as fat cattle traded this week at 142.00 giving optimism to the market.
