As filed

Compared to two weeks ago, steers and heifers sold steady. Demand was moderate for a light supply. Corn has continued to move higher which in turn has limited feeder cattle futures upside as it will just simply cost more to feed one than it has in awhile. Slaughter cows sold steady to 2.00 higher.
