As filed

Compared to the sale two weeks ago, feeder steers under 450 lbs 8.00-10.00 lower, over 450 lbs 2.00-5.00 lower. Feeder heifers 4.00-8.00 lower. Slaughter cows 1.00-3.00 higher. Demand good. Supply heavy. Good buyer attendance for an outstanding offering of feeder cattle this week. The market was better than expected as August feeders have advanced around 600 points the past two days after taking a week long beating over rising corn prices and trade disputes.
