Compared to last Tuesday, feeder steers and heifers 4.00-10.00 higher. Slaughter cows firm to 2.00 higher. Demand very good. Supply moderate. Mostly light cattle in the feeder offering with several high quality fall calves weighing 350-500 lbs.

Fed cattle traded as high as 177/cwt in the north as the market searches for a new supply/demand balance at never before seen prices.
