As filed

Compared to the last tested feeder sale from two weeks ago, feeder steers and heifers traded firm to 5.00 higher. Quality was attractive with several fancy strings offered throughout the day. Feeder cattle futures continue to roar higher with many thinking even higher prices are coming in the months ahead. Demand was good and supply moderate.
