As filed

Compared to last week: Feeder steers steady to 2.00 lower. Steer calves 4.00-8.00 lower, except 500-600 lbs 2.00-4.00 higher. Feeder heifers steady to 4.00 lower. Heifer calves mostly steady. Demand very good for feeder cattle with all buyers trying to get a piece of the pie. Continued dry weather is limiting demand for calves. Quality again average to attractive with several nice loads of feeder cattle available.
