As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers under 600 lbs 2.00-5.00 higher with weights over 600 lbs not well tested. Slaughter cows 1.00-2.00 lower. Supply light. Demand moderate. The cattle market looks some better with futures making a strong advance over the past week which should help this weeks feedlot trade.
