As filed

Compared to the last tested feeder auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers 2.00-5.00 higher with the most advance on the lighter weights. Feeder heifers traded steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 higher compared to last week. Slaughter steers and heifers steady to 1.00 higher. Slowly improving weather and continued strength in the slaughter cattle market are lending good support to feeder prices.
