As filed

Compared to last week, feeder steers traded steady to 5.00 higher with the full advance on weights over 700 lbs, and some exceptionally strong prices on feather weight steer calves. Feeder heifers steady with last week's advance. An active market with several strings of both top-end calves and yearlings that tested the upper limit of the market. Cattle flagged value added consists of cattle participating in a program that requires long time weaning and an extensive verifiable health program. Demand good and supply moderate.
