As filed

Compared to last sale: Feeder steer 4.00-6.00 higher. Feeder heifers 3.00-8.00 higher. Steer calves steady to 3.00 higher whereas heifer calves are 4.00-8.00 higher. Demand remains strong, with quality ranging from plain to attractive. Cattle futures posted substantial gains on Monday, fueled by the stock market's sharp increase and the reinstated closure of the southern border to cattle imports. Wheat is exhibiting clear signs of rapid maturation due to rising temperatures.
