As filed

Compared to last Wednesday, feeder steers and heifers steady to firm. Slaughter cows steady to 1.00 higher. Demand good. Supply moderate. Lots of variation in the feeders this week as most of the cattle over 600 lbs in the Medium and Large 1-2 category were low end of medium flesh yearlings with also a bigger sprinkling of new crop spring calves in weights under 550 lbs.
