As filed

Compared to the last tested auction from two weeks ago, feeder steers 5.00-10.00 higher with feeder heifers steady to 3.00 higher on limited comparisons. Cattle futures were once again sharply higher on Monday and buyers were more aggressive in gathering cattle than they have been all summer long at the market. Demand was good on a light supply.
