As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers 2.00-5.00 higher. Feeder heifers under 600 lbs 2.00-4.00 higher, over 600 lbs steady to 2.00 higher. Slaughter cows 2.00-3.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. Very good quality through most of the feeder offering with lots of nice 5 weight calves, many of which were weaned four weeks or more.
