As filed

Compared to the last reported sale two weeks ago, steers and heifers under 550 lbs steady, over 550 lbs 3.00-6.00 higher. Slaughter cows 4.00-6.00 lower compared to two weeks ago. Demand good. Supply moderate. The feeder market is a little stronger overall this week with feed costs easing, beef demand holding and with continued bullishness over supply. Several nice cattle this week highlighted by 93 head of light yearling heifers weighing 564 lbs @ 404.00.
