As filed

Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers 2.00-7.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 5.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. Several cattle made it to town even with another round of rain and muddy conditions with some very nice consignments in the mix. Beef cutout values have continued to move higher making another step up possible in fed cattle prices this week despite well advertised heavy first quarter supplies and stubbornly high carcass weights.
